Default PAINT ... PAINT ... PAINT

Seems we have all heard of many types of painting stsyems. Some use dopes. Others use latex while others use automotive products. Well how about "milk paint"? I seem to remember several years ago I have a set of kitchen cabinets that were painted with milk paint. I tried to strip it off using a variety of chemical strippers. I found that to be a waste of time. Then I tried a heat gun and it workd but was darkening the wood underneath because of the heat. Finally I gave up and sent them to a professional stripping place to get the job done. I have refinished all types of painted surfaces and never encountered anything that was so hard to remove. Since our fuels are so caustic to finishes ... has anyone ever tried milk paint? If so how did it work? Did it need fuel proofing? Can you clear over it for a gloss finish? If so, what is the best product?
