awm, it's because of those quirks that it can not be on my list of go-to paint resources. Full spectrum throws enough painters for a loop, can you EVEN imagine if I handed them powder and told them to go mix it. Oh. My. Goodness. All the paints mentioned, FS, F&B, Aura, Milk have a *visual hand* that is unique; a visual nuance of depth. They offer a multi-dimensional texture that comes from magical pairings and blendings of paint bases and colorants which delivers that notion of texture first to the sensation of vision and eventually touch. Regular paint samples people hold in their hands and tilt and turn to look at them at different angles and eventually run their hand across them. The uber brand's samples garner a touch almost instantly after the first glance. I find that interesting. Anyone who says all paints are equal and a regular paint can deliver the same kind of visual experience as the uber boutique paints have some kind of visual deficit -- their intuitive notions of what color is suppose to look and feel like -- even before you actually touch it-- is messed up. I'm not trying to be provactive or a smart azz. I seriously believe that there are varying levels of visual ability with specific degrees of color intuitiveness. Some people are more attuned to the wavelengths of color and some are less sensitive. Color vision takes place in your brain automatically, without awareness -- your eye/brain team sees and computes color effortlessly. Color is a natural, intrinsic response. So, I guess the question is: is it fair to expect every response to be identical? Very similiar to a great extent? Sure. But all identically intuitive and completely, totally equal? I personally think not. Which is why the buffet of paint choices we have available to us is the greatest thing ever -- ever! We are so lucky. There's a paint out there for everyone and it's so much darn fun! when someone finds their fit like awm and milk paints.

My husband use to work for Roger Wright Cabinetry and they would paint the occasional cabinets in Milk Paint if requested. He said that it definitly gives you a certain look but it doesn't cover as good as traditional paints. But it gives a certain washed out look that people who request it tend to like. He also said that it's very tricky and you have to mix it perfectly and apply it quickly. Below is a link to a guy I met at a Historic Home show in PA.. they have a decent web site and it may be a help! Good luck! Here is a link that might be useful: How to use milk paint

thank you Chess. That's all I was trying to point out and I got scolded. I painted my friends cabs over 10 years ago. not one chip. they look far from awful. the reason 'everyone' is painting their cabinets, is because they're tired of 1980-90's oak! Otherwise, they would replace them. people can't afford to replace but they want something different, newer, updated. So they paint. same type of cabinets. in good shape. should we leave these for another 20 years? these? No one here thinks these should be painted?? Maybe it's because I had cabs like this for far too long and just can't stand them. I think a lot of the problem w/those saying, "keep them they're beautiful", haven't lived with them for 2 decades. I don't know about the rest of you, but I like changes. I can't stand looking at the same color on the wall or the same furniture for 20+ years. If you guys can, great! think of all the money you save. But some of us like to mix it up a bit. And Housegal, while those pictures you're posting are beautiful, you're comparing apples to oranges. Those cabs are not whitewashed or pickled either, but natural. I might also point out that they're not oak. The tones look great because of the style and everything surrounding it. you can't compare the tones in OP's kitchen and her pickled oak cabs to those.
