Benjamin Moore Advance on Cabinets Reviewed. How Does it Perform Rolled, Brushed, and Sprayed?!

What happens here

The presenter demonstrates brushing Benjamin Moore Advance paint onto a drawer front. He explains that traditional water-based paints dry too quickly, leading to brush strokes. However, the Advance paint's extended open time allows for sufficient working time to achieve a smooth finish. He advises applying the paint quickly and then letting it self-level without overworking it. He applies the paint to both flat and curved edges, observing the leveling properties.

Goal: Apply the first coat of paint to a drawer front using a brush to evaluate leveling.

Tools and materials

  • Drawer Front — Test surface for brushing application
  • Paint Brush — Applying paint by hand
