Milk Paint can naturally chip or crackle when applied over some existing finishes.  This can result in an authentic look reminiscent of a chippy, aged, timeworn piece. We recommend Old Fashioned Milk Paint for use on horse hair lime plasters. Old Fashioned Milk Paints will NOT adhere well to latex paints. Therefore, latex paint must be stripped first with Cathedral Stone Heavy Duty Paint Remover.  Top coat milk paint with Oil Wax to prevent water spots and make it easier to clean.  (*using Oil Wax lowers the perm rating and is not recommended for Lime Plaster walls*) Click on the links below for specific installation instructions.  Old Fashioned Milk Paint Instructions for Plaster Walls  Old Fashioned Milk Paint Instructions for Furniture Old Fashioned Milk Paint MSDS
