What happens here

The painter demonstrates both brushing and rolling the Benjamin Moore Advance paint on separate door panels. For brushing, he uses a soft Premier Hampton brush, which is recommended for its ability to prevent visible brush strokes when paired with the paint's long open time. For rolling, he uses a microfiber roller to apply the paint to the flat areas, noting that he would typically back-brush to lay it out. He emphasizes that the paint's extended open time allows sufficient working time, even for less experienced DIYers, before it starts to coagulate and show brush marks. He observes that the paint levels out quickly for both methods, confirming its self-leveling properties.

Goal: Demonstrate application techniques and observe the self-leveling properties of the paint.
