      Sprayers aren't always going to be faster, even the manufacturer will tell you that. Sometimes it's absolutely faster to just grab a roller or a brush for a small job when you factor in the clean up afterwards or the prep work to mask for over-spray. That said, you won't get the same results with a roller that you'll get with a sprayer, so it's not always just about speed. There's no such thing as a tool that's perfect for every situation. Also, like anything else you get quicker the more you use it.

It will drive you nuts if you dont secure the adjustment wheel with tape. It can mess up a good paint job, very quickly. The machine has a pretty paint job but make sure you don't wipe it down with acetone or thinner. The machine will get ugly real fast.

      True, they don't give specific recommendations in the video, but there are literally hundreds of different rollers and brushes on the market and every store is going to have a different selection. There are lots of very good options and if you're buying Benjamin Moore paint, you're in a Benjamin Moore store and you will be given recommendations on applicators. I would never let someone grab the wrong roller without tactfully suggesting one that would work better. That's just the service you would expect from a Benjamin Moore store.

    Come on guys. Step one when painting cabinets, at least if you're going for a factory finish is put the rollers/brushes away and pick up a spray gun. A FF tip on an airless or a HVLP/pressure pot setup depending on the type of equipment you have, but, unless you're going for a really rustic finish, brushes/rollers aren't going to look close to what you'd see in a painted cabinet from the factory. Another good hint, when you're looking for cabinet paint, if they don't give tip sizes for HVLP on the back of the can, keep looking. You should be able to spray good cabinet paint through a 2.0 tip without any thinning, or a 1.7 or 1.4 with some thinning/Floetrol. If you're thinning the heck out the paint to get it through a 2.0, again, stop and go get real sprayable paint.

      I think you might be confusing dry time with cure time. Advance is dry to the touch in 4-6 hours, but like all paints cure time is much longer. A good ballpark generalization for most paints is 20 days to fully cure (Some are a bit more or a bit less).

    What about using a poly to make sure extra durable?

    • @leducwallfashions
      @leducwallfashions Před 2 lety

      You can, there's a "but" though. If you use a poly over paint there's a couple things to consider. One, not all polyurethanes, even waterbased, are actually clear and may change the color of your paint. Benjamin Moore's "Stays Clear" and Old masters "Masters Armor" are both very clear. Also, make sure you let the paint cure before you apply a clear coat. Paint dries in hours, but takes much longer to fully cure. (Use twenty days as a general guideline.) If you seal moisture in before it gets a chance to fully evaporate out, you'll most likely end up with air bubbles. As for durability though, Advance is very durable on it's own. I've used it on furniture and never felt the need to top coat it. Hope that helps.

    Great video. Thanks for all the helpful info you've been giving us. I have 80s oak cabinets and want to paint them with a brush & roller. After watching your videos I decided on BM Advance. The idea was, Coverstain oil bonding primer, then BM Fresh Start water based primer, then 2 coats of Advance. Went to BM store and they said that since I'm using the coverstain primer, I won't need the water based Fresh Start on top of that. What's your opinion on skipping Fresh Start? I don't want unnecessary work but at the same time I don't want to screw it up. Thanks Tom

    • @leducwallfashions
      @leducwallfashions Před 2 lety

      Yeah, they're right. The only reason you need a primer in the first place is for adhesion because of the clear coat that's on the cabinets. (lacquer, polyurethane, etc) Your bonding primer will do that for you. Now, one thing to know before you start is that oak is a very open grain wood, meaning that the grain is three dimensional not just visual. If you were hoping the extra coat of primer might fill the grain, unfortunately it won't. Film finishes like paint and primer go on in micron thicknesses so they won't fill, they'll just go with whatever texture is there. (Like the varnish that's on it now) If you want to fill the grain, you can, but it's a lot of work. (check CZcams for grain filling oak. The Wood Whisperer has a good one) Also, if you go with the lower sheen satin Advance instead of the semi gloss you won't notice it as much.

You'll never get it smooth by sanding, the grain goes all the way through the wood. Think of a sponge, as you go down through it you just expose more bubbles, you never get a smooth surface.

      @@tomprzytula Unfortunately, that won't really do much. It's like fixing dents or gouges in your wall, you need joint compound. I'd also be concerned about the paint curing properly if you do three coats. The solvent in the first coat may not be able to evaporate out fully during the curing process, which could lead to problems down the road. To be honest, we always warn people when they're painting oak, but everyone's always happy with the results. It's just good to know what to expect going in.

      No, sorry I don't. That said, any sort of video screen distorts color, so the color you're seeing on the screen isn't exactly what it would look like in person. Take your phone to a Benjamin Moore store, pause the video, and get an associate to help you find a similar color you like.

      If you go to gianigranite.com they have info about the different kits they have. (They're all a bit different) Some have actual minerals in the paint, etc. The sheen comes from the clear top coat not the paint, it's gloss. They're good quality and easy to use.

    Excellent advice. Is it better to use Advance primer rather than Fresh Start?

    • @leducwallfashions
      @leducwallfashions Před 3 lety

      They're both very good, as is Insl-X Stix adhesion primer. (Insl-X is also a Benjamin Moore company) The key is the surface prep though, make sure it's clean and give all surfaces a light sand to degloss and give the primer a bit of a mechanical bond. And give the primer a light sand as well before you paint. Primer doesn't level like paint so there will be texture there.

      @@Avital4414 I doubt it (never done a side by side), but all primers are going to need to be sanded. They're easy to sand, so if there is a difference it wouldn't be much. The better question is what primer gives better adhesion. It doesn't really matter how good it looks if it chips over time. (Chipping is an adhesion issue) We kind of lean towards Stix for adhesion, but all three are good.

    Is the matte finish advance paint less durable than the semi gloss?

    • @leducwallfashions
      @leducwallfashions Před 3 lety

      The Matte is actually meant for walls where you don't need the durability you need on trim/ doors/cabinets. It's durable for a matte, but it's still a matte, so no it's not as durable as semi-gloss.

      @@od2437 The matte came out later, after Advance was established as a great cabinet paint so it's a bit unclear. Advance isn't a cabinet paint per say, It's a waterborne alkyd. What that means is that it's alkyd resins (oil), but they're waterborne. So, it smells like a latex paint, cleans up with soap and water, like a latex, but it dries slow, like an oil, and hard, like an oil. The slow dry time and drying hard makes it great for cabinets,trim, furniture, doors, etc. The line wasn't developed for cabinets, it's just that the pearl, semi-gloss, and gloss are fantastic choices for that use. Hope that makes it more clear, paint can be a bit confusing. To be a bit self-serving, that's why Benjamin Moore stores are so good, we can help you get the right product for your specific project.

    Hello from Oregon. What is it about IKEA cabinets that cannot be painted over, according to salesperson? I see a few paint products, like Advance, that can transform cabinets to another color, but why not on such IKEA cabinets? Thank you.

    • @leducwallfashions
      @leducwallfashions Před 3 lety

      Out of context, I'm not sure what he was getting at? (Most things can be painted, there are a few exceptions, but not many.) IKEA cabinets can be painted, the key is the prep work before the paint. You'll want to clean them very well, give them a light scuff sand, and use an "adhesion" primer, not an all purpose primer that says it has good adhesion. We recommend Insl-x Stix primer (Insl-x is a Benjamin Moore company) You'll also want to give the primer a light sand too. Primers don't level like paint and on a smooth surface that texture will show after you paint over it. For paint, yes Advance would be your best option, it really is a beautiful product.

The foil wrap poses the same adhesion problem as oil paint, polyurethane, etc. Same procedure, scuff sand, coat with Stix primer, light sand, two coats of Advance. Also, if you have the time, adhesion primers will achieve better adhesion if you can leave them for 24 hours before you top coat them.

    I’ve been using this product for 2 1/2 years and have yet to be disappointed. It is so versatile, And durable. Works great on doors, trim, walls, furniture, and cabinets. It really doesn’t get any better than this. I’ve been a painting contractor for 35 years and this is by far the best paint on the market today. Coverage and adhesion are excellent, dries very quickly but the finish is seamless.

    I see where you roll on the paint but then finish with a brush on the flat surface of the door. Is this recommended? Or can you just roll on?

    • @leducwallfashions
      @leducwallfashions Před 3 lety

      There's not really one right answer to that. Generally, yeah you can roll, just make sure you have the right roller for the job. If you're painting something smooth, like a cabinet or door, make sure you're using a very low nap roller so you don't get added texture. (Nap refers to the length of the fibres. 1/4" (5mm) is good for smooth surfaces) If you get some texture when you roll you can go back over it with a brush to smooth it.
