I’ve been using milk paint for a while now, and I totally agree about the prep work. It’s a bit of a hassle, but the finish is worth it. I found that lightly sanding the surface before applying helps a lot with adhesion. Also, adding a bonding agent can make a big difference on tricky surfaces.

Clay paint sounds intriguing! I’ve been looking for something eco-friendly for my kitchen ceiling. How does it hold up in high humidity areas? I’m worried about mold or peeling. Also, does it come in a variety of colors, or is it more limited?

I tried both paints in my home office. Milk paint was great for the walls, but for the ceiling, clay paint was the clear winner. It’s easier to apply overhead, and the texture really adds something special. Plus, it’s more forgiving if you need to touch up spots later.

Has anyone tried mixing milk paint with natural pigments for custom colors? I’m thinking of doing that for my bedroom ceiling but worried about consistency and coverage. Any tips or experiences would be super helpful!
I’m all for eco-friendly paints, but I’m curious about the cost comparison between milk and clay paints. Also, how do they fare in terms of durability over time? I don’t want to repaint every couple of years. Any long-term users here who can share their experience?
