I love this clock. How was the milk paint to work with? Was the red also milk paint?

rawb,
The paint was easy to work with once you mix and strain it. I used a barn red along with pitch black Old Fashioned Milk Paint. Three undercoats of red are straight forward, I did steel wool the third coat. The “trick” to this finish is thinning the black paint just enough to let a trace of red show. I then used 000 steel wool to burnish the piece and then again with 0000. The steel wool brings out a satin shine from the dull looking paint. The more your rub the more of the under coat you will see. Be careful of the edges, it’s easy to cut through. The top coat was satin Arm R Seal.

Once mixed milk paint will go sour in a few days, keep it in the refrigerator will prolong it’s useful state.

I really like it well done
