Benjamin Moore Advance Review | Furniture Makeover

[@techanalyst1]

Never sprayed but I've used BM advance for trim and wainscotting in a previous home. Used zinzer 123 primer after scuff sanding (two coats to be sure... lol!) on IKEA cabinets, two coats of ROLLED BM Advance Hale Navy to match my kitchen cabinets with light sanding between. Waited to attach the doors until they were completely cured and they look like a pro job with no streaks and rock hard finish! Added a quartz countertop to match the kitchen and no one will ever know the builder or a cabinet maker didn't install them! We're working on accent walls now in White Dove and the finish again is amazing! The absolute necessity is to wait between coats and lightly sand and wipe clean. After this we're working on some other accent walls and a home office with cabinets and of course it will be BM Advance. LOTS of time involved and the paint is $$$ and never on sale but worth it.

Just got through your comment. Looks like you have hands on using BM paint. Is there a chance for me to ask you few questions in privet? Thanks in advance.

[@shawnakettell6564]

Great to see you back. That is a beautiful color and finish.

[@BorninaBarnBoutique]

Thank you so much! Good to be back after a little break!

[@dwegner3460]

I've had very good results spraying BM Advance on an HVLP with a 2.0mm tip thinned at 10 percent. The best thing about advance is how hard it cures after 30 or so days. Great job.

[@BorninaBarnBoutique]

Yes I thinned about 10% as well and it went on so well - thank you 😀

[@cindybunker4918]

Kimberly I appreciate your content! It answers the questions have about products and techniques from your experienced viewpoint. Thank you!

[@BorninaBarnBoutique]

Thank you so much - so glad to hear that 😀

[@valeskaparker870]

Beginner here. It was nice to see that you didnt have to filter the paint nor water it down. Is that because of the sprayer you are using or because of the quality of the paint?

[@BorninaBarnBoutique]

@@valeskaparker870 I should have filtered (I normally do) but sometimes when filming I forget. As for watering it down - that is going to depend on the product viscosity and the sprayer too - this was pretty thin and not needed

[@TheBismila1]

is the paint good for blending?

[@livstar4]

Kimberly would you recommend this paint for kitchen cabinets?

[@BorninaBarnBoutique]

Yes it’s a good quality paint and finish. Cures rock hard in 30 days

[@25258721]

I have used on several cabinet jobs. It is a great product, but be sure and stick to dry times. 16 hour re-coat. Reaches full cure in around 30 days. I tell my customers to be easy around the door pulls, etc. Really does cure extremely hard. It's a waterborne alkyd.

[@finaboykm]

Used the Advance for the kitchen cabinets and being retired the roller and paint brush worked crazy well. Very important to allow for the cure time and nothin but “ Wow Compliments “ from friends.

[@NicholasANappiNick]

Try rolling it with a mini roller 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@qtp2tee]

Hi. Did you dilute the paint when you sprayed? Thanks

[@BorninaBarnBoutique]

Hi there - This paint I did not, it was a pretty thin consistency

[@naomeefreedman9194]

Hi, great video. May I ask what base you used? I want to use a dark green for my island, and wondered what base you used? Secondly, did you have to thin out the paint or dilute it when you used your sprayer? I notice some people say to dilute or thin prior to using sprayer because it’s thick, Just wondered if you thinned it out. I love your piece, great job

[@BorninaBarnBoutique]

I didn’t use a base - if you mean a primer/base. I didn’t use one on this job - not all jobs require a primer - if cleaned well and scuff sanded (prime when concerned about bleed through or adhesion) I always thin my paint and each product will vary as to how much as well as the equipment your using - I suggest getting a viscosity cup and referring to your sprayer manual for timing. This paint is not particularly thick (that will also vary depending on color - some pigments in colors will make the paint thinner or thicker). Thank you so much 😀

[@naomeefreedman9194]

@@BorninaBarnBoutique thanks so much for the info 👍🌹

[@jaybe5049]

I'm confused. Did you spray a second coat over the painted side? I was looking forward to seeing 2 coats brushed on as I don't have a sprayer...

[@BorninaBarnBoutique]

No I did 2 coats brushed on that one side - I show a quick view of it toward the end of the video on the next day. 😀

[@jaybe5049]

9:34? Just hard to tell when you are showing the painted one, or maybe just let me know if it looked ok! Thanks!!@@BorninaBarnBoutique

[@BorninaBarnBoutique]

@@jaybe5049 yes I showed it pretty quick! You could not tell to much difference it came out great.

[@Jen-mc3sn]

Question for you please .. Ive been using Fusion on my dining table and chairs. I know I don't have to but I'd like to top coat. My question... am I best to use a oil based top coat or a water based one. Being a high traffic dining table. Thank you in advance

[@BorninaBarnBoutique]

So oil based will be a little more durable but I don’t recommend it over painted surfaces as it will definitely yellow or amber your paint color for sure. I would use a water based - I prefer Lilly moon stellar shield (non yellowing very durable) or general finishes high performance top coat

[@BecksView]

Where did you get your little caster dollies? Those look like the would come in very handy

[@BorninaBarnBoutique]

They came from harbor freight!

[@BecksView]

@@BorninaBarnBoutique thanks so much for taking a minute to reply! Love your channel, btw. Lots of good tips and tricks.

[@TheBismila1]

Chalk paint is good for blending, but I don't know if Benjamin More is good for blending

[@BorninaBarnBoutique]

@@TheBismila1 it’s not in my opinion - you are better off with a chalk or mineral paint for that 😀

[@suzettemenendez8570]

Hi what size tip did you use on your sprayer with this paint and did you thin out the paint. Thank You

[@BorninaBarnBoutique]

1.3 (the standard issue in my Fuji) and yes about 5-10% for a nice application

[@user-mt5fu5yb5l]

Did you have to thin this paint before spraying?

[@BorninaBarnBoutique]

Yes just a bit (5-10%) just makes for a nice application

[@theshabbyvintagebelle1875]

16 hours 🤦‍♀️

[@BorninaBarnBoutique]

Right? I'm too impatient for that!

[@hanlee7271]

I am planning to do this same to my cabinets without sanding or priming it. How is your paint holding up? Does it easily get scratched? I am a bit worried

[@BorninaBarnBoutique]

Excellent this product is extremely durable I would rate this high for durability right along sherwin Williams emerald urethane - but definitely go with advance line in BM - big quality difference between that and their regular line
