Benjamin Moore's New Ultra Spec

We recently got to work with Benjamin Moore's new interior paint, Ultra Spec 500.  Designed to compete with Sherwin Williams Promar 200, Ultra Spec is an affordable paint best suited for commercial and larger scale residential projects.  It offers the price point of an economy paint, but really does preform admirably. 

We used about twenty gallons of the product in a medium blue tone.  Painting near the Rochester airport, we applied this product on the interior of a large warehouse type building.  We painted over concrete block, drywall, metal, and wood.  We painted over both freshly primed and previously painted surfaces.   We even used this over bright yellow colors.  Great coverage!  We used the low lustre product, which offered a nice eggshell finish.

Our painters were very impressed with the paints performance on these surfaces when applied by brush, roller, and sprayer.  We especially liked how it was thin enough to spread nicely over concrete block, but substantial enough to provide very good coverage.  We found the dried product to be durable.

Finally, this paint did not wash off our hands too easily - another good sign!
