Just a few tips from Barbara ~
Always remove any hardware before you begin cleaning your piece.
Paint does not stick to dirt, oil and all the other grime on a piece. You have to remove all of that debris before you apply your paint in order to get a professional finish.
Go over your piece multiple times to make sure you have gotten it completely clean.

Hi: I’m wondering if you stock the General Finishes Milk Paint products? Their website lists you as a place to buy.
Thank you!
Sorry for the slow reply! We have discontinued General Finishes. We have asked them to remove us from their GF web site. We have carried Fusion Mineral Paint, for almost a year now and our customers love it. If you haven’t already purchased GF, check out http://www.thetreasuredhomeshop.com
