There are some differences too, and for me, this is what really sets something like Rust Oleum Milk Paint apart. They are also easy to use paints making them a good option for DIY furniture makeovers.
They both are fantastic options for furniture projects because they require little prep work and offer a nice matte finish. Ok, so let’s get into it! There are a lot of similarities between milk paint and chalk paint. I’ve used milk paint to paint an IKEA dresser, a small cabinet, and the grand furniture makeover, my Painted Black Piano. It’s also readily available in small amounts, perfect for a DIY furniture project.
Because it doesn’t require heavy sanding and covers blemishes well, milk paint is often used for furniture makeovers.
