finish the matte finish when doing any type of um you know especially accent walls but it can be used for an entire house so the paint itself is it does say on the can um and in the technical data sheet that it is a self priming paint i'm not a big fan of self priming paints um i've said this you know over and over in the past i got videos about it um you know i if a substrate needs a primer i'm going to use a primer benjamin moore makes some amazing primers i did a review one of their primers that um i really like the product um and if i'm going to need a primer i'm going to prime first and then i'm going to use benjamin moore benjamin morris aura over the top of that but it is classified as a self-priming product and um and so if you want to use it as a pain primer one you can another thing about the paint it is mildew resistant so it's got additives in it that create a mildew resistant coating and that does come into play if you're in high moisture areas if you live on the coast if you just don't have good ventilation in a home and especially a bathroom where you can get a mildew growing on the surface growing on the paint this could be a great product for um doing a bathroom and so i i don't think you have to rely on using you know high sheens like gloss sheens or semi-gloss jeans to resist you know mildew if you're in these high moisture areas you're using aura's mat you could use that right in the bathroom due to all the technology in the paint and the the paint's ability to resist the mildew so now we're down to the end of the video i've talked a lot about you know benjamin moore's or his pain some of my experience you've probably seen some of the b-roll of me painting with it uh where do i rank or rate this video i do a ladder test i got a ladder behind me you know is it a bottom-run product is it top-running product um i'm gonna rate this product is it something that you should spend yo your hard-earned money
