Good paint for diyers,.not for pros…this paint has very poor vertical hang,cure time is worst on the market, gloss is soft for weeks on top of oil based primer !!!! Coverage is good but absolutely no durability… scuffs very easy weeks after spraying…recoat 16h…. nuts…gloss is way too soft after 6 coats one a day with 4000 in between… extremaly dissapointed with the quality of this product… its very highly overratted
Thank you. Very helpful
Can this paint be used on top of Shellac Primed surface? And does it need a Sealer on top? If so, should it be polyurethane or water based polycrilic?
can you use a HVLP sprayer like the Flexio 3000 with this product?
C'mon Ben Moore, really, a 360p quality video. You can at least post videos in HD for us.
Can I use stix primer instead of the advance primer?
What primer?
Why did they show some idiot brushing over a panel after he just rolled it out??
Thats going to give you a crappy finish with brush marks all through it…..
Try harder benjamin moore
Needed this info, thanx 🔨
NOT good paint I don't understand why people say BM Advance paint is great. I have been painting for years and it is the WORST paint I have ever used. It is nothing it says it is. It has no working time, does not lay off well, and does not level at all. Bought the prime and brush they recommend. I just did my new trim and all I see is brush marks. I returned the first gallon and tried a second, same poor results. I recommend avoiding this paint at all costs. 62% of people give it 1 star on Amazon.
Try to do it with woodglut plans 🙂
Do I need to clean brushes with mineral spirits?
Confused DIY'er. I am a first time cabinet box only painter. Got new formica doors and drawer fronts so I am only painting the boxes. Seemed like an easy job!
Thought Advance would be best primer and paint. Took me four months to find the primer! Was sold semi-gloss Advance to match the doors/drawer fronts. Gong from dark brown (wood/veneer?) to cottage white.
Cleaned cabinets boxes with Krud Kutte and then sanded them with 120 paper. Cleaned dust off with damp cloth and Tack rag. Primed with synthetic all paint soft brush, a Wooster Silver tip sold to me by the BM store. The brush has some sort of special tips on the ends of the bristles. Applied Advance primer with the brush 14 days ago (couldn't paint right away due to unexpected schedule issues) Primer is streaked with non uniform coverage and you can see brush marks.
I know that I need to re-prime. Now do I use a brush or a roller? Was sold a foam roller by BM store which I definitely don't want to use based on comments about bubbles. Think that I should use a 3/8 inch microfiber roller from the comments as well. Thinking re-prime and then need two coats paint and sand in between with 220 grit.
Am I now on the right track? Did I mess mess up by initially sanding with 120 grit? Thanks for your comments. I would have paid a pro if the job was a bigger one! Seemed so small….
Looking at painting my interior doors with this paint. (I've used it before in a bathroom remodeling project.) My interior doors already have latex paint on them. Can I just prime and paint or do I need to do something else?
Do you recommend to roll, then brush before letting the paint level out? I think I am having trouble with brush marks on the primer showing through and the leveling is not leveling.
Do not use 100 or 120 grit to sand cabinets prior to priming. far to course.150 or 180 best to use. Lightly sand with 180 or 220 after first coat dried. Only use top of the line brushes. Great products.. I specialized in fine interior painting for 45 years. I used and recommended Benjamin Moore Paints.
For a Greco airless do I need to thin the paint?
Can I use this on an oil-based painted surface?
What is the name of that blue paint??
I prefer to build with Woodglut plans.
They don’t mention that it takes a very long time to cure. My bookshelf took months. In the meantime, everything put on the shelves stuck to it and damaged the finish. It finally cured, but now the finish is so damaged that I need to repaint. Would never use again. I’m in a desert environment, and didn’t expect such a long cure time.
What is best for cleaning the paint rollers and brushes. Thanks
can this be used as a wall paint to eliminate roller marks?
I don’t think it covers well. I am painting furniture and I sand, 2 coats of primer and then I need at least 3 coats of Advance semigloss black. I love the finish but waiting 4 hours between coats and 3 weeks to cure makes a simple job not so simple.
So what about the primer? Does the Advance Primer prevent the tannin bleed through? Or is this the Advance paint compatible with Zinsser Shellac-based primer? Thank you
Skip the first sanding and use Jasco liquid deglosser/cleaner.No rinse and no dust plus much easier to degloss all areas and details.Get the good stuff(blue liquid) from a paint store,not the milky white stuff from the big warehouse stores.The blue is a concentrate.Mix it a bit stronger than recommended.
What's the best finnish to use on a kitchen tabletop?
I have some metal lockers that need to be painted. Can I use this product on metal too?
