Aura interior paint review. Excellent paint for bedroom walls.

What happens here

The presenter shares his observations on the application of Benjamin Moore Aura, focusing on splatter resistance and coverability. He notes that while he always masks and uses drop cloths, he considers Aura to have 'low splatter,' performing well in this category even when painting overhead. Regarding coverage, he expresses amazement, stating that it's rare for paint to cover in one coat, but one of the colors he rolled (a vibrant color, like a navy blue shown) literally covered in a single coat. As a professional painter, he still applies two coats for a better overall look, but acknowledges that a DIYer could likely get away with one coat due to Aura's exceptional coverage.

Goal: Evaluate the ease of application and effective coverage of the paint

going to get into just about a little bit of my experience using the paint and my observations i um it it's a premium paint i used uh benjamin moore reviewed benjamin moore or exterior and hands down the best exterior paint i've ever used now does aura interior fit in that same category um some of the things i i want a good quality paint that's not going to splatter not going to make a mess we typically always mask use drop cloths but there's nothing worse than just paints splattering especially if you're painting overhead and it's splattered in your face i wouldn't say it's a no splatter paint i coupled it with a woven pro 3 8 inch roller and i'm just a little bit of splatter so i'd say the splatter ability is is really good um i wouldn't say it's the best i've ever seen but it actually had what i would just say low splatter and perform were performed really well in that category the next thing was the coverability absolutely amazing comfortability it's really rare that i ever see any paints that will cover in one coat one of the colors that i rolled it literally covered in one cloak one coat when i inspected the wall really costly as a professional painter i probably could have got away as a do-it-yourselfer you definitely could have got away with one coat on the wall as a professional painter i always to coat my walls and two coats just going to give a better overall look and feel to the wall but i was absolutely amazed in the coverage of the paint so i did touch on dry time when it comes to you know the ability of a paint to actually make me as a professional painter money it dried extremely fast probably faster than any paint i've ever used how to
