There's something wrong with your website. When scrolling up and down it doesn't keep up with itself and when you try to click on links it takes you to the about section. I must have gone to the about web page 100 times.

A great well stocked shop
Looking for a place for milk paint and finishing products, this fit the bill. Everything you need is right here. There is much info about all their products, plus videos. Service and delivery was fast. This is a great place.

Great information to make a decision from
I heard about Real Milk Paint Company from a woodworking class I was taking. Excited to use their products and their information and downloadable guides were great. Plan to buy from them many more times.

The delivery was as promised
The delivery was as promised. The colors are really nice. I had trouble getting the lumps out, it took several different ways to finally get the paint ready to use.

Plan Ahead and Test
My experience with milk paint was not good, but perhaps it's my fault. I saw a YouTube video where they mixed flag red and black iron. The resulting color was exactly what I was looking for...or so I thought. After carefully mixing and applying on my bare wood project, it looked good wet but not at all what I wanted after it dried. I applied both Varathane finishing wax and Minwax Polycrylic as a topcoat, but neither did the trick. Perhaps if I had wax from the Real Milk Paint Co it would have looked better, but I didn't have time to wait for a shipment. I also tried several other mix formulas trying to get my desired color, but no joy. Milk Paint might be a great product if you can get the color you want and use their topcoats, but it didn't work for me.

Thanks for the honest feedback. Waterbase top coats tend to look foggy on dark colors. This may be what happened ? Oil base finish top coats tend to darken the color of the paint .Hopefully, this information is helpful
Very poor customer service.
I mistakenly purchased more than one of some of the colors I needed. Upon reading the order, I promptly emailed the company, however the order had already been processed and shipped early the next day from the order. The response to my explanation of what occurred and that I wanted to change the order was simply met with a reply that it had shipped, ignoring the actual issue. I replied to the email, and received no reply at all.

Too many emails
I love using Pure Tung Oil & Citrus Solvent for the finish on my woodworking projects. But holy crap! I really don't need 8 emails confirming my order (1 email), indicating my order has shipped (3 emails), review request (1 email before I ever received the product), indicating my order is out for delivery (1 email), and that my order has been delivered (2 emails). Emails from RMP, Route, & Trust Pilot. A bit of overkill for me. And as an added bonus, by submitting this review an account with Trust Pilot is created for me, which I'm guessing will generate yet more emails. And "Shipping Protection"? I missed eliminating that extra charge on the order process. I should not have to pay extra to ensure that the item I have ordered is received without damage. That is on the seller and the shipping company.

Hi Sandy, Thanks for the review and the constructive feedback! We will definitely be looking into the various systems we use and how to pair down communications. Thanks again!
Neat colors, great company, fast shipping
Neat colors, seems like a great company, good information shared on what the products could be used for. I purchased some milk paint pigments and the one suggestion I have is for better pictures of the pigments. The pictures in use aren't bad, but they are fairly small and in the context of the jar they come in. Would be a nice touch to have pictures of the pigments splayed out over a nice plank of wood. And perhaps especially, samples of how they look on a common lighter wood like pine or poplar or even white oak, to get a sense for how they might stain when integrated in Tung or Linseed oil (my intended usage). Some ratio suggestions for that usage would also be neat, especially for mixing multiple pigments together for a custom color. Overall, very happy and will likely order more in the future! One other though - maybe I missed it but a bulk order option for a discount would be great.

Your website is informative and friendly seeming. But there are a lot of broken links, and links that take one to the wrong page. I am on an iPhone 14 and had the same experience with both Safari and Firefox. I completed the order on my desktop, but also had issues on the desktop as well. Looking forward to getting product, and hopefully a better web experience next time I order.

My favorite finish!
I’ve only used your half and half, but it is the best and I use it exclusively on my carvings.

We're very happy to hear that Pete, thank you! You would also probably enjoy the Dark Half if you want a touch of color as well.

This stuff is absolutely fantastic
This stuff is absolutely fantastic! Previously used Waterlox on other projects but this beats it, although will have to see if stands the test of time. If I had to guess, it will…it just feels like a hard solid seal. I used it to finish maple butcher block countertops for DIY kitchen reno. Sanded down to 220 finish and applied 4 coats waiting at least 24 hours between, tack clothing before reapplication. I will say after the final coat the feel of the finish was not as silky smooth as to my liking, likely due to inevitable dust and particles suspended in excess oil that had not penetrated the wood sitting on top (possibly overzealous w application). Still, I let sit about a week to cure and then steel wooled with 0000 all over. Removed a layer of gummiess. And WOW! The steel wool dulled/lightened the finish just slightly so I decided to do one more very thin coat,let it dry 2 days then buffed with a cloth and the result is absolutely magnificent. It’s like glass. I think if you have trouble with the finish or feel just be patient and play around with it a bit and you won’t be sorry! Seems pretty fool proof. Amazing smell, gorgeous color. A+++
