Schloss MilkPaint™

Schloss

Schloss is German for "castle." This warm greige indeed reminds us of the thick, rough-hewn stone walls of ancient German castles dotting the Rhine River Valley. Don't let the name fool you, though - Schloss's dreamy greige tones wrap you up like a cashmere scarf and your fluffiest pair of slippers. It's much warmer than our other grays. It pairs well with alabaster lamps, shades of cream, and wooden dough bowls.

MilkPaint™ Information

100% Natural | Eco Friendly | Organic | Non-Toxic | No VOCs

MilkPaint™ is a powdered paint that has been around for thousands of years. It is a versatile paint that can be used to achieve a variety of looks from chippy and distressed to smooth and sleek. Just add water!

How to Prep for MilkPaint™

Raw Wood - No prep is required. MilkPaint™ can be applied to any porous surface without a primer.

Pre-Finished Surfaces - Scuff up the surface with medium grit sandpaper (100-150) prior to painting. Remove the dust with a vacuum or cloth.

Glass and Metal - Clean the surfaces with either glass cleaner or a slightly dampened rag. Obviously, you can’t sand these surfaces, so mix up your Milk Paint and add MilkGrip™.

How to Mix MMS MilkPaint™

1. Mix approximately 1 part water to 1 part MilkPaint™ powder with a blender (strictly used for paint), by shaking in a lidded container, hand mixing with a whisk, stir stick, or with a motorized paint mixer.

2. Add warm water (not hot) to container first, then add milk paint powder slowly and mix for 3-5 minutes.

3. Paint a test swatch to make sure desired consistency has been achieved. If the paint is translucent or runny, it is too thin. If it the brush drags and the paint appears gritty or chunky, it is too thick. Add more water or powder accordingly, and mix again.

4. Stir paint occasionally while painting, as pigments may settle at the bottom of the container.

(MilkMix-EZ™  can be added to the paint. It will reduce or eliminate foaming and bubbling, enabling easier mixing and application. It will break surface tension to allow faster mixing and the proper texture of paint for application. Added benefit, it will also make the paint smoother. *When used at the recommended amounts, it will not negatively affect paint adhesion. See MilkMix-EZ™ for use instructions.)
