Buttermilk Paint

4.7/5 · 7 reviews

Old Village Buttermilk Paint is a ready-to-use interior/exterior paint which dries to a durable flat finish, and can be coated with water based varnish, oil or wax, just like Milk and Chalk paint. Buttermilk Paint is highly desirable as a color coat on woodwork, furniture, decorative objects, as well as for antique furniture reproduction.

Old Village Buttermilk Paint is a great alternative for users of milk and chalk paints, as it offers the best of both worlds: Requiring no preparation/mixing and nonperishable, as opposed to Milk Paint, Buttermilk Paint is offered in 24 colors, which are brighter than pastel tones traditionally found in Chalk paint. Old Village Buttermilk Paint is water based and is made from natural earth pigments. The 24 available colors are a reminder of the New England Colonial era. The colors may be intermixed or lightened with white.
