I just painted a bedside table I've been working on, with General Finishes Milk Paint. I brushed it on, then wiped some off to expose the white stain underneath for the distressed look that wives love so much.
The guy at Rockler told me that no top coat is necessary for this paint. So am I going to ruin the whole idea of distressing by protecting it with poly? Am I going to ruin the super flat finish of the milk paint and defeat the purpose of using milk paint?
