   I've used Advance on 3 kitchens and various built-ins, and like it a lot. I don't have any experience with the others.

   Thanks. I generally prefer BM products. What primer did you use? And how was it applied (hvlp, roller/brushed, etc)?

   I used Fresh Start as a primer. I repainted one kitchen, painted with off-white Advance after about 10 years, with two coats of dark blue Advance. I cleaned with TSP but didn't prime, and it worked just fine.

   I used a roller to apply and backbrushed. The Advance really levels out, and brush stroke completely disappear. Go light on vertical surfaces, because it's more prone to sag than regular latex paint. It dries enough to recoat in 16 hours, and to remount doors after 24 hours, but takes a week to cure fully hard.

   I tried Advance on indoor handrails, and it doesn't hold up well to that use. I'm looking for a better paint for handrails, and am leaning toward Sherwin Williams pro industrial urethane alkyd enamel.
