Comparison: DECOPRIME® vs Benjamin Moore Primers
Why choose DECOPRIME® over Benjamin Moore’s Fresh Start or ADVANCE primers?
DECOPRIME® offers superior sandability and enamel holdout, ideal for cabinetry and trim
Dunn-Edwards’ water-based formula dries faster and is easier to work with than Benjamin Moore’s alkyd options
