Has anyone used Benjamin Moore's Advance

13 years ago

Was wondering your thoughts on BM Advance waterborne interior alkyd. I went to the paint store thinking I was going to get Cabinet Coat instead I was given the opinion to get BM Advance to paint my cabinets. So far it is going on well with minimal brush marks. I am just worried now about hardness. Is one harder and more durable than the other? BM advance ingredience are water, titanium dioxide, alkyd polymer, polyalkyl glycol ether, and propylene glycol. Does anyone know what cabinet coat is made of.

I went with the BM paint because I wanted a BM color not a CC color and the guy at the paint store said I should use the brand of paint that comes with the brand's colors. I used BM Linen White.

So any opinions would be great. Thanks AMy

It will take about a week or so but the Advance will dry as hard as a conventional oil. Using a fan to circulate air will speed up dry time. Cabinet Coat is an acrylic and is also quite durable - just completely different chemistry.

Constellation. I I have used Constellation, but in a waterfront home facing east. It is a beautiful color, but wondering if it is too pale for the kitchen. It can get lost among all the greige. With such defined colors as Revere Pewter and Solitude, would you consider a darker tone with the same undertone as Solitude? B.M. Province Blue

@susanlynn2012, I do have bm swiss coffee in one room currently. I really like it. It’s in my kitchen, and I’m debating whether I should bring it into the living room or if I should do something with a slightly lower lrv in the LR. The swiss coffee changes a lot throughout the day. Sometimes it looks almost white, sometimes a very pale beige, and in certain light next to my oak cabinets it can have almost a pink undertone.
