hi, i am justin barba, professional paint contractor.today we're going to take a look at benjamin moore's advance interior waterborne alkyd. as you can see we are on a nearly complete remodel, it's all coming together, the floors are in, thecabinets are on the way and almost everything is painted.
sherwin williams paint colors for kitchen cabinets, we've used in benjamin moore's ultra flat water-borneceiling paint on the ceilings, and aura and natura on the walls, now we're just down to the trim doors and the beadboard with dogs and kids around these things takea daily beating, so we want to use a durable paint that will hold up over time overtime.
in this case we are using benjamin moore's advance,it's a revolutionary oil based paint that offers low voc, low odor, and cleans up with soap and water.yeah, you heard me right, it is a paint that barely smells and it cleans up with soap and water as an oiled, advance is durable, and it flowsand levels really well. this makes for a very smooth glassy finishedusually only get with a conventional oil-based paint. since it flows and levels so well, advance can be forgiving to work with, minor brush marks tend to flow away as the paint film levels. before painting, make sure your surfaces are free of contaminates,dust, dirt, cooking grease, detergent from inadequate rinsing or even oils from hand traffic,
these all can interfere with adhesion. advance comes in a specialty primer and three finishes, flat, satin, and high gloss. you can use any high quality brush with advance,but benjamin moore recommends using a nylon polyester blend for best results. i am using a soft bristle brush to reduce thethe brush marks that a stiffer brush might leave. for the wood work in this house we are going to use advance in a satin finish since the customer wants the classic smooth lookof traditional oil, but doesn't want the smell
and high voc that's associated with it. this is especially important with this jobbecause the family is living in the home during the remodel. for detailed work like this, you don't really need tofill your pot as full as you would with painting walls and ceilings. and to prevent yourself from getting paint all over the brush, only fill it a couple of inches when holding your brush it is important to grip around the ferrule, not far down the handle.
dip the bristles about a third length into the paint. at this step i like to tap the brush on the side of the bucketinstead of raking it against the edge, in some spots like the edges of the door casingsyou want to rake your brush. with a door like this, i like to start from in the upper panel and work from the inside out. with advance remember one thing above all don't put on too much paint. maintain a wet edge as you go, working quicklyto lay on the paint in an even thin coat. as you lay it on, be careful not to apply too muchespecially in the nooks and crannies, or horizontal surfaces since these areas tend to catch and channel the paint, creating runs or sags.
if you find you have a run, you could easily fix it, first remove all excess paint from your brush, now is the time to rake the bristles againstthe side of the bucket, next run the bristles along the heavyspot and lift away some of the paint, don't make the mistake 02:59.379,0:03:04.479of using the tip of your brush to do this, instead use the sides of the bristles, this will remove less paint from the surface leaving it there to form a good coat. keep moving down the door until you're done,looking back over each section as you go when painting bigger surfaces like this, you have all kinds of options for applying more paint faster. you can use a normal nine-inch roller or youcan go with the jumbo coater like this, painters
call these a weenie roller. i'm using a short nap mohair cover for thisbeadboards since it will give me much control over how much paint i apply and should help smooth it out well. begin by brushing the edges of the beadboard layingon the paint away from the corner, avoid getting too much pain too closeto the edge. once you've cut in the edges of the section, makethe first pass with your roller working the paint into the brushed areas. after you have painted the stretch of the surface, dry off your roller and go back to the first section and lay it off,
roll slowly along the full surface giving it a full layoff. at this point you can remove any paint from heavy spots. when choosing a trim paint, you usually have to makea trade-off between durability and simplicity. to get the toughness of an oil, you usually have to accept that it will smell terrible, has to be cleaned up the paint thinner and yellows over time.
with advance you get the durability of an oil, butas i said it cleans up with water, doesn't smell bad, and offers an minimal yellowing asit ages. i am justin barba, thanks for joining me for this look at benjamin moore's advance, interior waterborne oil-based paint and here are the colors we used for today’s project.
