How to Paint: Using Benjamin Moore's ADVANCE

We recently produced this video for Benjamin Moore--it highlights ADVANCE, their new water-clean-up interior oil-based paint.  It's great for trim or any other place where you might want the look of an oil, but don't want the stink and trouble associated with it.

You don't have to watch the video in tiny format--you can take it to regular, full-sized YouTube if you want by clicking on the video once it starts playing:

This is my brother Josh Barba (fellow painter of J. Barba Painting Inc.) and my friend Josh Turner of Turner's Paint Store, in Missoula. If you have seen the ADVANCE video, you may recognize that we had not yet painted the orange kitchen beadboard when I took this picture.

We recently produced a product demonstration video for Benjamin Moore. This video shows you how to work with ADVANCE, their new oil-based, water clean up, low VOC paint. It is quite a good product, and I recommend it if you need something durable around your house (especially if you prefer using oils, but want to get rid of the paint thinner, bad smells, and significant yellowing). We should be posting the ADVANCE video on here pretty soon.

Using Benjamin Moore's ADVANCE

This week we worked on a nice remodel project that included the preparation and painting of these simple 6-panel doors (16 total doors). We also sanded, primed, and painted this bookshelf, which had previously been factory stained and sealed. For all the trim and the bookshelf, we used Benjamin Moore's ADVANCE, interior water-clean-up, oil-based paint. It's a great choice if you want the durability of an oil but don't want the smell and trouble usually associated with traditional oil.

Unfortunately, the bookcase proved to be difficult for my Droid to properly capture. Still, I think you can see the nice finish we ended up with in the end.

For more information on how to apply Advance, take a look at our instructional video on it. It will show you pretty much everything you need to know about using it.
