For Cabinets, Trim & Doors
Benjamin Moore Advance
A waterborne alkyd finish that cures hard, smooth, and built to last.
When a project calls for a flawless, furniture-like finish, Benjamin Moore Advance delivers. This waterborne alkyd, or hybrid, interior paint combines the smooth, durable feel of traditional oil with the easy handling and low odor of a modern water-based product. The result is a surface that cures to a hard, refined finish well suited to the pieces in your home that take the most wear.
Why Advance for Cabinets & Trim
Advance is engineered to self-level as it dries, which means brush marks and roller stipple soften out for a clean, almost sprayed look, whether you apply it by brush, roller, or sprayer. That self-leveling quality is exactly what you want on kitchen cabinets, doors, trim, and built-ins, where every imperfection shows. As a hybrid alkyd, it cures harder than a standard latex over time, standing up to the bumps, fingerprints, and cleaning that busy surfaces endure.
Just as important, Advance is low-VOC and cleans up with simple soap and water, unlike traditional oil paint that requires solvents and lingers with strong odor. You get the performance of an alkyd without the mess and fumes.
