Benjamin Moore Aura Paint Review: Their Best Exterior Paint Yet?!

What happens here

The reviewer highlights the excellent adhesion properties of the paint, attributed to its lifetime warranty. He describes a personal 'adhesion test' (paint sticking to skin) and formal tape/cross-hatch tests performed on various surfaces, including metal siding (even chalky surfaces) and wood trim. He notes that the paint stuck really well to all surfaces, indicating strong adhesion.

Goal: Evaluate the paint's adhesion and expected durability.

Tools and materials

  • Cross-hatch Test Tool — Formal adhesion testing
  • Painter's Tape Frog Tape — Conducting adhesion tests (specifically Frog Tape Delicate Yellow)
