![]() ![]() It’s a 16 hour recoat time, which means you spend a lot of time waiting for paint to dry. ![]() The biggest con for me when it comes to the Advance, is the dry time.Just the right amount of shine to it, without being glossy. I use Advance in a satin finish, and it is perfection.Advance levels out beautifully, whether you spray it or brush and roll it.So this product is the best of both worlds, in my opinion – great durability without the hassle of dealing with smelly solvents. They’re smelly, messy, and the clean-up is awful. I know there is a time and a place for solvent-based products, but I really hate working with solvents. This means soap and water clean up, which I love. Advance is a waterborne alkyd, that hardens like an oil.Let’s do a bulleted list, as I like to see things all organized. There are lots of reasons why I love it and have used it for as long as I have. Like I said, I’ve been using Benjamin Moore’s Advance for years now, and have been a loyal customer. They’re both awesome, but they each have pros and cons to consider, and it’s worth taking a closer look. I thought it would be helpful to do a side by side comparison of the two products. In doing some reading and research, I’ve discovered that Breakthrough by PPG has gotten great reviews as a product for painting cabinets, and I’ve been working with it and using it (and loving it). I’m always looking into and trying new primers, fillers, etc… but have stayed true to my trusty standby as far as paint goes – Benjamin Moore’s Advance. I wrapped up a new client kitchen project a couple of weeks ago, but also wanted to talk some more about products that I’ve been learning about and using as I continue to grow my business, as well as my skills and techniques. ![]()
