Farmhouse Finishes SafePaint FAQ

How is the new SafePaint different from your Old Fashioned Milk Paint?

SafePaint is a newly formulated milk paint designed for use on walls. Our original formula was created for porous surfaces like wood and masonry. SafePaint was formulated for use on non-porous surfaces such as previously painted walls and for new sheetrock. It will also adhere to other surfaces such as metal, or previously finished wood, cabinetry, furniture, etc. And you can certainly use it on porous surfaces like bare wood as well.

Is SafePaint mixed up the same way?

Yes, but more easily, especially at higher speeds with a drill paint paddle or a portable kitchen beater. Basically, you still just add water and mix.

What colors does SafePaint come in?

SafePaint is available in all twenty colors of our existing palette of Milk Paint, as well as a “Base” with no pigment for those wishing to add their own pigments. And just like our original formula, SafePaint colors may be blended together to create other colors.

What are the SafePaint prices ?

The same as our traditional Old Fashioned Milk Paint.

Is SafePaint available now?

Yes. All colors are now available.

Is SafePaint different in appearance than your traditional milk paint?

Yes, it doesn’t have the “old world”, uneven, mottled look of our original formula. It’s flat, but much more uniform and consistent over a large area.

Is SafePaint washable?

It is more water resistant than our original paint, but on surfaces expected to take a lot of abuse you may want to put a clear sealer over the paint. SafePaint is washable once cured.

Is SafePaint a true milk paint like your Old Fashioned Milk Paint?

Yes, it’s as real and true as it gets. A true Milk Paint contains milk protein, lime and pigment.

Does the name SafePaint mean that it is safer than your Old Fashioned Milk Paint?

Our Old-Fashioned Milk Paint and our SafePaint are both organic and bio-degradeable as well as permanent, durable and nonpolluting. They are both the safest paints available.
