Directions for Use

Surface Prep:

Always ensure the surface is clean of contaminants and dust. Sanding any surface too smoothly can reduce adhesion and create application issues like orange peel.

Raw Wood

Sand with up to 220 grit.

Pre‐finished Wood

Clean using 50/50 mix of denatured alcohol and water with maroon non‐woven pad. Sand with fine (220‐320) foam sanding pad or maroon non‐woven pad. A bonding primer may be necessary to ensure adhesion on highly‐worn surfaces.

Other Substrates

Can be used with proper priming. Always test first. Sanding Between Coats: Using fine (220‐320) foam sanding pad or gray non‐woven pad.

System Recommendations

Can be used without a primer. For white and other light colors, GF Stain Blocker is recommended. For high‐use surfaces, up to 3 coats of a GF topcoat is recommended.

Queenstown Gray Milk Paint

Lou Vendrame · Apr 12, 2023 · Edit · Delete

The colour is a great combination of dark grey and blue. The milk paint dried surface is unique. Coverage is very good with two coats and a short drying time. The can arrived dented but this in no way affected the quality of the paint. I will be purchasing more milk paint in the future.
