Sweet Pickins Milk Paint – Patina

Milk paint in powder form | Color: Patina (oxidized turquoise green)
Natural – VOC-free – food safe – from the USA

Patina is a fascinating shade with character: a slightly muted turquoise green , inspired by naturally aged copper. The color creates a gentle trace of time—especially on textured surfaces or in combination with wood. Available exclusively in the Sweet Pickins Boutique line , Patina is ideal for anyone looking to bring a touch of vintage and craftsmanship into their home.

Like every Sweet Pickins Milk Paint color, Patina is based on a simple, proven formula with natural ingredients . The milk paint comes in powder form , is mixed with warm water , and can be applied individually depending on the technique and mixture – from translucent to opaque.

A shade with depth – calm, nostalgic and at the same time full of expression.

☆ Made from natural raw materials , completely VOC-free and biodegradable
☆ Food safe – therefore also ideal for children’s furniture or toys
☆ In powder form – so the consistency can be individually adjusted: from thin like a glaze to thick for textured surfaces
☆ Can be used directly on untreated wood; for sealed surfaces, the addition of Extra-Bond is recommended
☆ Often develops slight flaking or hairline cracks when drying, which is typical of the vintage and shabby look

If you prefer the classic farmhouse look , apply the paint in a medium thickness and work with light wear—through sanding, layering, or deliberate chipping. The paint can be protected with wax or a matte varnish at the end, depending on how much wear the piece will be subjected to.
