Olde Century Carriage Black Simulated Milk Paint, Pint

Olde Century Carriage Black Simulated Milk Paint, Pint offers a unique way to recreate the historic colors of the 18th and 19th centuries. Inspired by traditional paints made from milk, lime, and natural pigments, this paint captures the essence of colors derived from berries, clays, and lamp soot, resulting in vibrant and authentic hues. Ideal for restoring furniture or architectural elements from the 1700s or 1800s, it covers approximately 400 square feet per gallon when used undiluted. The paint is produced in carefully controlled dye lot batches, ensuring consistent, rich color depth. For those seeking a more transparent finish that highlights the wood grain, the paint can be diluted with water and applied as a stain. To protect surfaces that will see frequent use, applying a clear varnish, Briwax, or Briwax Shellac Sanding Sealer is recommended. Additionally, an antique crackle finish can be achieved by using this milk paint as both the base and top coat beneath a crackle medium, offering a charming aged look. Model Number:
