Thank you so much for this video! What is the color of the Benjamin Moore Stain in the middle (top)? The video shows the base, however, it doesn't mention the color name. Thank you!

What is the top right color?

[@jamesd7469]

Hello. Thanks for the video. What is the color of the semi solid at the bottom center? Also, is there a difference in the appearance and sheen of semi solid oil vs water based? Thanks!

[@rings_end]

Good Morning James, thank you for your patience! The color of the bottom center is Benjamin Moore Oxford Brown. To answer your additional question, you will certainly find the oil to give you a richer finish than the water-based product. Thank you for watching!

@@rings_end Thank you for your reply. Much appreciated!

So on top left you have to oil prime it first then 2 coats if so what primer do you use and do you have it tinted

[@rings_end]

Hi @vincevohn804 , thank you for watching! We recommend using @benjaminmoore c085 which is a premium all-purpose oil primer. It is white. You can use it as is, or get it tinted which would provide extra hide if your surface needs that. Let us know if you have any additional questions! You can use the link below to learn more and shop, we ship nationwide!
