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.

The website was acting a bit odd. Double headers and things like that. When I did a search the item I was looking for didn't show and I had trouble updating the cart.

Easy order and quick delivery. I liked the pre-diluted option of the 50/50 Tung Oil; however, after several coats, I still did not achieve the final finish. So I order pure Tung Oil and have applied 2 more coats…I have one to go and am hoping that will get the desired results. I’m concerned that the Tung Oil is not Tung Oil.

Good/Great: The website. I was interested in the organic finishing oils. The website was very informative even providing suggestions of what product to use based on wood and when/where. The option of buying sample sizes is a major plus. Great for small projects, or trying a product without having to buy a larger quantity. Bad: Use of a 3rd party to track my package. In order to track a package, the 3rd party requires you to register for their service. No thank you. My package was delivered via USPS. I assume all packages are delivered by one of the 3 major carriers: USPS, UPS, or Fedex. All 3 provide a tracking number and a way to track your package without registering. UPS and USPS will even ask if you want to be notified by email/text of tracking updates. I do not want, or need, some unknown 3rd party doing this for me.

I don't know if its you or me, I think me. I put 2 coats of your half and half on my sassafras deck. Its really dark except for the areas where I had it covered from the sun. I want to give you 5 stars so if this is something I can correct let me know.

The colors, no matter how little or much water i added did not match the color advertised. I ordered a sample pack and was dissapointed with the color tones each actually were once painted. Not the full cover colors that are advertised

Wish the paint could work/ adhere to more surfaces but still love the concept and colors!

Great products! Antiquated shipping. Rural customers all over this country do not have the option of home delivery by the USPS and are forced to use P. O. Boxes however, most retailers do not allow the option of P. O. Box delivery even though they offer USPS delivery. This is frustrating and a bit absurd. You can do better for your customers. Update: RMP reached out to me directly and my order was placed. Hopefully, they and other retailers will find a way to remedy this situation of shipping to P.O. Boxes as it is the only option for anyone wishing to use the better rates of the USPS that live in rural areas. P.S. If you aren't buying your Tung Oil from RMP then you're probably not getting what you paid for.
