can I apply milk paint to new pine wood

Yes. The manufacturer recommends sanding the wood first though. Not sure what grit but you can go to their website for specifics.

I think milk paint can be used on any type of wood...I used it on oak with no problems. If there is nothing on the wood yet, it should go even easier than my projects did!

I would seal it first with a water-based primer or bonder. XIM has one in white that would be perfect.

I would prime it first if you using a light color paint. Darker colors the pine will do fine. Love love love this paint. Highly recommend it.

I am not the representative for this company, but I would. In my humble opinion, I think this paint is very nice. I sanded the fire out of some coat racks and went with it. It has a nice finish. You may wish to do 2 coats. I can't remember if I did. I'm not a purist or a perfectionist, but I would. I was prompted by Amazon comment monitor to respond, so maybe this will be of some help. Have a nice day!

See no reason why you couldn't paint it...depends on what type of paint but I would probably fine sand it first. I didn't really notice an odor beside new furniture smell.

I have used this on pine toys.It's like you dampened it with water.Not real dark.You will love it.

I've painted wood metal wicker plastic etc.. with great results. However not this particular product. I'd think if you abraded and primed the surface you would achieve the same.

Yes, buy the color closest to your woodwork, apply it with 0000 steel wool and wipe off with towel. Yor wood will look better than new!

No. It is bare wood. I ended up applying a primer and then a coat of enamel paint.

We used it on pine, as well. This company (Cedarshield) has gone through some "changes." I would check the website and talk to a person. We used about seven gallons of this product and so far we have been pleased, but only time will tell if it really holds up.

The intent of this produce is to add color (ie. paint). I would simply purchase a polyurethane product. http://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/wood-care/ultimate-polyurethane

You could just paint but the first coat will absorb into the wood and your painting won't be on the surface. I would do either one coat of gesso first or and all over coat of acrylic first.

With a couple coats or a thick paint, yes. might be easier to see any imperfections in the wood though. The squares weren't perfectly smooth on the one I received.

Yes, as long as you sand off any varnish that might be on it first. I put two thin coats on pine and it looks great and I can still see the grain through it.

It will not make it look new, so I would clean the wood first. After it is good and dry, use the beeswax generously and after applying a coat, wait a few minutes then buff with a clean, dry, rag that is white. It has a wonderful muted shine when used on wood furniture. To clean the crib, I might use diluted vinegar with dish detergent instead of Murphy's wood Soap. It has never done a good job for me on old wood. Anyway, that's my two cents. I just love the Van's Beeswax.

The pine wood is antibacterial / anti-fungal. I don't know if other types of wood are.

It is not real wood. I imagine if you research how to refinish MDF you could repaint it.

it already has a redwood stain on it, so unless you want to re-sand it I would say no. you might be able to paint it but you'll have to experiment with different oil bases to see what would stick.

I don't see any reason why it couldn't be painted. The wood is smooth, but I don't think it would need to be sanded before painting it. I didn't paint the ones I bought, but that was by choice. Hope that helps.

In my opinion no. The material of the wood probably wont hold the paint on there
