A Look at Milk Paint
Our experience with removing milk paint has been revealing. We bought what was supposed to be a great, potent commercial milk paint removal product. Nevertheless it took around 15 hours to clean up this door.
I try to help our readers discover tricks and training for their own home projects. But I have no good advice for stripping milk paint except: Do Not Waste Your Time!
Milk paint is chemically different from all other paints. It has a chalky look but is often hidden under other types of paint.
I have raised my price for stripping painted doors from $250 each to $1,000 each. Nobody will hire us to strip doors at that price, which is great. We are going to concentrate on other things. Good riddance to the milk paint doors.
