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

What happens here

After all applications are complete, the presenter reviews the results, noting that the sprayed finish is 'absolutely glass-like' with excellent leveling. For the brushed and rolled samples, while brush strokes and roller naps are still visible upon close inspection, the paint levels out remarkably well, making it a viable option for DIYers or professional painters who prefer these methods. He emphasizes the paint's forgiving nature, capable of handling two coats without running, and even three coats before running when sprayed heavily. The product's ability to completely hide the grain of an oak cabinet (even with just one coat) is highlighted as a significant advantage.

Goal: Evaluate the final finish of the paint across different application methods and provide recommendations.

all right now i've got to my vanity all sprayed right here the face frames and the sides i've got some doors and drawers they're all finished being sprayed brushed or rolled i'm going to give you some of my thoughts about benjamin moore advanced now now that i've had a chance to actually use it in different scenarios i did do some tests multiple tests with it i did a test right here this is brushing it this whole section right here brushing it hopefully we can give you a close-up look of that and then a section of it rolling it i have other um tests i did with it but this hopefully we can get some good shots with the video now i do got to say um for professionals and do-it-yourself painters this stuff if you're brushing and rolling it lays out absolutely amazing i wouldn't say 100 of the brush strokes are gone i can still tell that this was brushed i can still tell this was napped when you compare that to being sprayed there is kind of a pattern left to it here a stipple pattern and a brush pattern that goes on whatever way you're brushing it when it sprayed it just laid out like absolute glass but if you're brushing and rolling this stuff actually brushed and rolled really really nice so i know a lot of do-it-yourselfers are intimidated or don't know how to use airless sprayers this would be a great product to use if you're brushing and rolling and i know there's still quite a few painters out there that brush and roll cabinets and doors and stuff like that so it's a great product if you do it we're very accustomed to spraying i sprayed it different with different methods i used my psdr in here hanging spraying i sprayed it down laying it definitely sprays out better laying down because you can get a really nice thick coat on it but hanging i sprayed all four sides and front and backs of the doors and it hung very very well i even did tests where i sprayed three coats all all at once to see what it would take to get it to run if i didn't have a lot of experience spraying it's if i got two coats on there it's still hung if i got three coats it started to run so it is very forgiving but the spraying here's a couple doors or drawers this one right here i don't know if you can when you look at that right there that is a mirror glass-like finish on that so i do got to say it sprays out extremely well this whole cabinet we're dealing with aqua coat and an oak cabinet and you can't even see the grain so it's sprayed out well leveled out well it does dry pretty…
