Time is money, so using premium paint products for home projects is essential. Using low-quality paint will mean needing more coats and frequent touch-ups, both of which cost time and money. Benjamin Moore ADVANCE® Paint is an excellent choice for many home painting projects because of its coverage, durability, and fast-drying capability.
What is Benjamin Moore ADVANCE® Paint?
As environmental standards rise, more manufacturers are offering eco-friendly waterborne paints. Benjamin Moore ADVANCE® Paint is a waterborne formula that is low VOC and cleans up easily with soap and water. It’s a superior product available at an affordable price, making it popular with professional contractors and weekend warriors.
Exceptional Coverage
Benjamin Moore ADVANCE® Paint offers outstanding coverage and usually requires two coats for a professional-looking finish. Three coats may be necessary if you’re making a drastic color change or covering smoke or water stains. It spreads well and has an outstanding working time – the length of time between application and touching up before you damage the sheen – of two minutes. Benjamin Moore ADVANCE® paint is also self-leveling to give you a picture-worthy finish.
Durability
One of the most important considerations when choosing a paint is its durability. Benjamin Moore ADVANCE® Paint cures to a hard, furniture-quality finish and stands up well to cleaning. You can rest easy knowing you can clean crayons, coffee, and even wine off surfaces where you have Benjamin Moore ADVANCE® Paint using various cleaning products, including a bleach and water mixture.
Fast-Drying
This interior paint dries to the touch within 4-8 hours, much faster than the 24 hours most oil-based paints require. Benjamin Moore ADVANCE® Paint is ready for a recoat within 16-24 hours. You should allow at least 14 days for your paint to cure fully for maximum durability and coverage.
Choosing a Sheen
Because you can use Benjamin Moore ADVANCE® Paint for doors, cabinetry, and trim, it does not come in a flat finish. The satin finish offers a very subtle sheen, hides imperfections well, and is easy to apply. Semi-gloss paint will give a more noticeable shine and is best for highlighting details in cabinetry. As sheens increase, paint becomes more challenging to apply correctly, so we suggest using semi-gloss on a well-prepared surface and applying it with a sprayer. The high-gloss finish offers a mirror-like finish, bringing surface excitement and shine. We recommend leaving the application of high-gloss paint to professionals because it is very unforgiving when it comes to DIY errors.
