Milk Paint

"We're kicking off our new series, Woodworker Wednesday, with the work of the incredibly talented Ryan Kneeland of Kneeland Designs! Ryan recently completed an impressive seven-piece series for the Santa Barbara Zoo, including an African lion, Humboldt penguin, Chilean flamingo, Masai giraffe, golden lion tamarin, poison dark frog, and the tree of life using hundreds of hand-cut and custom-dyed pieces in his unique 3-D layering technique!

Milk Paint is both a professional and retail product. It is extremely durable and was originally created for commercial use, but is now sold under our retail label because it can be applied by spray and ALSO by brush or roller, handy for DIY consumers.  We package this paint to serve all markets, in gallons, quarts, and pints.

GF's professional line is sold under the Enduro label, and these are spray-only products, primarily sold in gallons.
