The ADVANCE paint requires a primer, also available in this collection. But you don’t have to waste your time searching for a suitable primer for the specific paint. However, keep in mind that this option isn’t a paint and primer combo like other products in the Benjamin Moore collection. Benjamin Moore did an excellent job merging the low VOC content and quality, creating a waterborne alkyd paint. Also, the paint is difficult to remove, as you will need solvents to get rid of the stains. However, these paints release VOCs during the drying process. Oil-based paints are widely used for their quality and durability. One of the most common challenges is to create water-based paint with a durable finish. I used Advance in an satin finish for the cabinets in our laundry room, and I think it was the perfect choice. The satin finish is ideal for cabinets if you don’t want a high luster but still need a washable option. This finish isn’t washable, so I wouldn’t recommend it for stain-prone areas like the kitchen. However, make sure to avoid it when it comes to painting cabinets. The matte finish is suitable for painting walls. If you choose high gloss, I’d suggest a paint sprayer to get the most even finish, because most of my trouble was caused by overbrushing/rolling the paint, since the brush marks show, and it takes away some of the glossy finish. BUT! Note that the high gloss version is trickier to use, something I learned when I painted my front door. I used high-gloss on our front door, which looks great. The paint comes in finished ranging from matte to high-gloss. The official website has how-to guides, making it easy for beginners to tackle their first painting project. The application process is convenient and easy. It dries to a furniture-like finish, providing excellent coverage. The formula is water based, so you can easily clean it without using solvents during the process. The stain resistance is higher as the sheen goes up. ADVANCE is available in Matte, Satin, Semi-gloss, and High gloss finish, and it also comes in interior and exterior versions. The premium paint is ideal for doors, trim, and cabinetry. My front door, painted with Benjamin Moore ADVANCE exterior paint in High Gloss Black As with other paints by Benjamin Moore, this one combines paint and primer to cut down the extra steps. With easy cleaning and no fading, it will keep its rich tone for longer. It is only available in a matte finish and manages to achieve perfect coverage with fewer coats and conceals wall imperfections.
With low VOC, the paint is ideal for compact spaces like a bathroom. The Aura Bath and Spa is a special edition designed for humid and steamy environments. It is available in different finishes such as Eggshell, Matte, Satin, and Semi-gloss. Finally, it’s low-VOC. You will need to apply fewer coats to achieve the desired coverage, which is important if you’re painting a large area. The special technology implements extra UV protection, preventing the harmful rays from fading the pigment.īenjamin Moore Aura is also known for its high coverage. This paint comes with many other advantages, too, Among them: It’s a paint and primer in one, and it’s made using Genex colors, making the paint resistant to fading. But that’s just how it is, and the viscosity mean the paint offers excellent coverage and doesn’t splatter or drip as easily as the other paints in the Benjamin Moore range. The first time I used it, I actually wondered if something had happened to the paint. If you’ve only ever used mid-grade paint, it’s almost strange how thick it is when you open the can. But, you can tell that it’s a high-quality product as soon as you open the can. Aura is Benjamin Moore’s premium paint offering, and the most expensive option of the bunch.
