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

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter prepares the Benjamin Moore Advance paint for spraying by opening the can and inspecting its consistency. He notes the paint is quite thin, similar to oil-based paints, which requires caution to avoid runs during vertical application. He then loads the paint into the Titan ControlMax sprayer, connecting the pickup tube to the paint bucket and the return hose to a waste bucket for priming.

Goal: Load the paint into the sprayer and check its viscosity.

Tools and materials

  • Empty Bucket — Holding the paint pickup tube
  • Paint Stir Stick — Checking paint viscosity
  • Waste Bucket — Collecting paint during priming

uh real world now this product is also supposed to be low odor put that to the test right here it doesn't have a very strong odor at all so um there's some truth to the low odor portion right there gonna load up our sprayer now this is a waterborne product and it cleans up with just warm soap and water the viscosity i'll show you what the viscosity of it looks like it looks really thin so i'm going to want to be really careful and not try to spray anything vertical in one coat or i could get runs and so and that's kind of what i heard about it is um you want to just spray light coats and not heavy coats or it will run really easy so do a little research be on your product if you've never used it before see if you can get any information on how it likes to be sprayed but there it is it's pretty pretty thin it's now it's probably like um in my past using oil based paints that's about how we would spray oil based trim paint it'd be about that viscosity right there i don't need now if i was going to put it in an hdlp sprayer i want to know my exact viscosity using a viscosity measuring tool like a zone cup or a ford 4 cup but i'm not spraying through an hvlp i'm spraying through this titan control max and i'm even going to use the gun that came with it so i'm going to get this thing loaded up and ready to go here
