Corotech Command paint is a high-performing exterior/interior paint intended for a wide variety of industrial and residential applications. Painting contractors love this premium product from Benjamin Moore for its durable, multi-purpose coating that gets workspaces back in use in just 24 hours. In this Command paint review, we’ll cover the best uses for Command, notable performance features, and available sheens and colors.
Where to Use Command Paint
Command paint is ideal for industrial and residential projects where minimal disruption is essential because it dries to touch in 15 minutes and is traffic-ready in 24 hours. Command is particularly popular for facility maintenance and property management — but is used everywhere from factories to healthcare facilities.
This incredibly versatile product can be used on almost any type of surface, including handrails, shelving, doors, floors, stairs, ramps, safety markers, curbs, cabinets, awnings, shutters, molding, and piping. While Command is a common choice for industrial applications, it’s also used for residential projects that require a durable paint product with ultra-fast dry time.
Benjamin Moore Command vs. Advance
Benjamin Moore Command and Benjamin Moore Advance share several recommended applications, including cabinets and millwork. So which is better?
Ben Moore Advance paint is the better cabinet paint due to its excellent self-leveling and ease of application for both professional painters and homeowners. Advance creates a smooth, furniture-quality coating that just can’t be replicated by other products. However, this alkyd paint demands a long dry time (16 hours to recoat, 30 days to fully cure).
If a space needs to be back in use as soon as possible, Command is a great option for a hard, durable coating that will dry quickly. Just remember that this fast-drying paint will need to be applied carefully to avoid brush/roller marks, and is harder to work with for DIY projects.
Benjamin Moore Command Finishes & Colors
Command paint comes in satin or gloss sheens to accommodate a wide range of projects and substrates. Both finishes result in a highly durable coating that stands up to frequent use and exposure to the elements. Command paint is also available in any of Benjamin Moore’s 3,500+ colors.
Satin
Satin paint is a popular, low-gloss sheen that adds rich definition and creates a washable coating without a high level of shine. Although it’s more forgiving than gloss paint, remember that a satin finish still requires careful preparation and application to avoid highlighting surface imperfections, lap marks, or brush strokes. Command satin paint can be custom-ordered in any of Benjamin Moore’s authentic 3,500+ paint colors. For detailed product specifications, see this data sheet for Command paint in Satin.

Gloss
Known for its mirror-like finish, a glossy sheen is extremely durable and easy to clean. Just remember that surfaces will need to be thoroughly prepared before being painted with a glossy finish, and careful application is necessary to avoid lap marks (this paint dries fast!) Command Gloss paint is available in any of Benjamin Moore’s authentic 3,500+ paint colors. For detailed product specifications, see this data sheet for Command paint in Gloss.

Flexible Durability
Command paint offers superior abrasion resistance that is actually flexible. Command successfully resists cracking and peeling even when subjected to pressure and movement. This advanced feature is one of the reasons that Command is such a reliable product for industrial spaces that are likely to experience regular foot traffic and movement of products or machinery.
Block Resistance
It’s difficult to paint doors, windows, or cabinets on a time crunch — even if the finish looks dry, other paints can stick to themselves and become damaged if returned to service too quickly. Command paint’s advanced, tack-free formula creates a block-resistant coating within just 1 hour of application. This ensures that doors, windows, cabinets, and other highly-used surfaces are back in operation quickly — with a lasting finish that won’t be in danger of sticking.
