Rust-Oleum331052 Milk Paint Finish, Quart, Eclipse 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

I love working with this Rust-Oleum Milk Paint in Highland Blue — it’s one of the easiest paints I’ve used for DIY furniture makeovers. The consistency is just right, and it goes on smoothly without dripping or streaking.I applied it over dark wood without any primer, and it still provided great coverage with just a couple of coats. The color is gorgeous — soft but rich, and it gives a clean, vintage-inspired finish without a lot of effort.It dries quickly and gives that lightly distressed, matte look that’s perfect for upcycled furniture or home décor projects. Highly recommend for beginners and experienced DIYers alike.

The Rust-Oleum Milk Paint Finish in Eclipse is a fantastic product for achieving a beautiful, vintage-style look with minimal effort. Milk paint has always been my go-to for furniture refinishing, and this one did not disappoint.The best qualities of milk paint shine through: it provides excellent adhesion to a variety of surfaces, including wood, metal, and even previously painted pieces, with little to no prep work. The velvety matte finish adds a touch of elegance while enhancing the natural texture of the surface. It’s also low odor and fast-drying, which is a big plus for indoor projects.This particular shade, Eclipse, is a rich, deep color that looks stunning on both large furniture pieces and small decorative items. The paint is easy to apply and layers beautifully for a distressed or solid look, depending on your preference.Highly recommend for anyone looking to refresh furniture or add a timeless, rustic charm to their home decor!I used it as the base coat on the table, before painting it white and then distressing.

Writing this review on my husband's account.I recently refinished our old piano and an old mirror we have. I originally wanted to use a chalk paint since it's very forgiving and easy to use, but have this milk paint a try because I could not find a navy blue chalk paint that was this rich in color. I'm so glad I went with my gut and picked up this milk paint. It's very easy to use and was already the thin consistency that I make my chalk paint before use (I add a cookie couple sprays of water to my chalk paint before use to get a smoother consistency.) Because it's thinner, I did need to use at least three coats of milk paint to get the same opacity as I would have with two coats of chalk paint, but this was not an issue for me. If anything, it was more forgiving because if I had any paint that pooled up and left paint globs, it was so easy to sand it off before the next coat. I experienced this with the piano because of all the tiny crevasses, but it really wasn't hard to fix.Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the results of both the piano and mirror. For reference, I used five coats of paint on the piano (could've stopped at three, but the piano gets heavy use) and three coats on the mirror. I still have about a fifth of the can left, so I have enough to paint a small piece of furniture.Some tips: 1.) Don't be alarmed when you open the can and the paint looks bright blue; it dries to this deep, gorgeous navy color. 2.) If your piece is shiny, sand it with a medium grit sand paper to give the paint something to grip to. 3.) Use synthetic brushes; the coverage is just much better and easier to work with. 4.) You can use polycrylic as a top coat, but I used Jolie furniture wax as a top coat (also on Amazon); not only has it held up well, but it gave the piano and mirror and even richer color and great, smooth texture. Guests can't help but touch the piano because of how stunning it looks. 5.) If you paint a piano like I did, please don't paint the back/sound board, as this will compromise the sound. 6.) Have fun! This paint was very forgiving and easy to use!The can of paint was shipped securely; no issues with shipping like others have experienced.I posted multiple photos so you can see the paint in different lighting (lights vs natural.)

Bought this paint to refurb all my bedroom furniture that I was ready to throw away. So far I painted a tall dresser, big for no reason nightstand & a storage chest. I used one can of paint, which was enough for 3 coats. This paint exceeded my expectations, my furniture looks GOODT. Special shout out to my brother in Christ, a reviewer on here who recommended 3 coats & a satin poly. He is out here doing the Lord’s work.-I’m no Picasso, I was concerned about brush strokes showing up, they didn’t!!-I didn’t feel like sanding, I’m speaking my truth, the paint covered everything perfectly.-Eclipse looked charcoal gray to me, one day I woke up & the furniture looks black. Maybe I convinced myself it was black, idk. The color isn't the deepest black, it’s a softer black that’s really beautiful. It’s very pleasing to the eye.If you’re looking to purchase, the color might not be an exact match to what you have in mind but this paint might check off the rest of your boxes.

was excited to get this but disappointed in the color. I wanted an aqua blue and it looks that way in the picture but when it arrived and I opened it, it was more of a green. Especially after it dried after I painted it. Also, it says that it is a textured look, and it did not look textured at all. It looked more glossy than anything.

Very efficient.

Since no one posted pictures of the navy blue colors. Most of these are with one coat over white. I like the color. Wish it was more cobalt blue. It’s nice though. I did 2-3 coats. Didn’t take pictures of the final product
