When you’re ready to switch out the color of your trim or cabinets, the most crucial step is choosing high-quality interior paint. Benjamin Moore ADVANCE paint will always be your best bet for trim and cabinets because it looks great and is long-lasting.
Durable interior trim paint that withstands those high-touch areas, such as your kitchen cabinets, is pertinent. We’ll discuss the benefits of Benjamin Moore ADVANCE and offer a few painting tips for when it's time to start on your kitchen and doors.
The type of paint you choose is crucial because you’ll want to save money while ensuring a durable and long-lasting finish for your project.
Since you’ll be using your kitchen cabinets all the time, you’ll want paint that holds up to frequent touching and cleaning. Latex is an excellent choice since newer kinds use water-based paint formulas that make it easy to clean. And since your interior doors and trim are more likely to experience wear and tear, you'll want the right type of paint that uses a powerful formula.
While oil paint is beautiful, its fumes can cause adverse effects while using it, and the painting process typically takes longer than latex. You can choose a latex paint that has low or zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for little to no odor while the paint cures.
While some prefer oil paint due to its look and excellent performance in high-touch areas, latex has come a long way to provide water-based ingredients that make it last. Oil painting shows the brushstrokes many painting purists prefer, but latex provides a more consistent finish.
Benjamin Moore creates paint with top-quality resins and colorants. They manufacture the resins that form the film and finish of the paint while creating tints that give it a unique color. You’ll save money on your kitchen and trim paint by using high-quality products that last.
Benjamin Moore ADVANCE is one of the best paints for interior doors and trim. It’s durable and protective with a smooth finish, making it ideal for trim, moldings, doors and most interior projects.
Benjamin Moore paint meets VOC standards and is continually tested and improved for homeowners. Their waterborne interior paint provides similar qualities you’d find in oil-based paint, although you get to skip the paint thinners while cleaning up.

When choosing a sheen, opt for semi-gloss, gloss or satin because they are harder finishes and therefore easier to clean.
The right finish ensures you won’t have to keep touching up your current paint — a matte sheen might not be practical because it doesn’t hold up to cleaning and wiping. And while a gloss finish might make your cabinets look nice and shiny, a semi-gloss or satin sheen can more easily hide dings or scratches.
