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

What happens here

The reviewer explains Benjamin Moore's proprietary Color Lock Technology, which enhances fade resistance and color vibrancy, and Genex Color Technology, making their colors difficult for competitors to match. He emphasizes the paint's 'hanging well' property for spray application, meaning it resists running. He confirms that he experienced no runs, flashing, or lap marks across various surfaces, even in direct sunlight, which is a common challenge.

Goal: Understand the paint's color benefits and smooth application.

  • Ladder Little Giant — Accessing high areas for painting
  • Masking Film 3M — Protecting windows and other areas during spray painting

that wood trim so to sum it up the adhesion properties of this paint are excellent and i'm actually really impressed with it so um it's it's a good paint that i'm comfortable spraying on all kinds of surfaces and i'm not going to have any adhesion properties any warranty issues going down the road so the benjamin moore aurora and when it really comes to benjamin moore's paint in general they have a proprietary color lock technology and i can't speak to whether it's proprietary or not that's what benjamin moore states and that color lock technology is supposed to be more fade resistant and it's supposed to um give you more vibrant colors when they're tinted and i do have to say that benjamin moore has hands down the best fan deck that i've ever seen and i i do know that when it comes to tinting or color matching um benjamin moore colors every time i've gone to another paint store and tried to have them color match a benjamin moore color off their fan deck they struggle a lot to try to get the colors correct and i think another one of the technologies that's involved in their tinting process is the gen x color technology and it does make the tinting process by other manufacturers copying their colors extremely difficult so if you really like benjamin moore's colors like the colors off the fan bag you shouldn't attempt to have them color match somewhere else you should get them and benjamin more paint all right so i do want to talk about my experiences with the paint out on the job site and and there are some things i'm always looking for when it comes to paint in general and i'm looking for a paint that's going to meet my needs as a professional painter and um perform in certain circumstances and one of the things i'm looking for in a pain i i wanted to cover very well and i gotta say this paint covered amazing so it's gotta cover well if it doesn't cover well you're just gonna be spraying multiple coats on it and i was spraying a kind of a grayish color over um like a rust color and it covered extremely well there covered well over a white color and it covered extremely well on a lot of different circumstances out on the job site another thing i look for in a good quality paint and this is from a professional stand a professional painter standpoint i want to paint that hangs very well and what i'm referring to when i when i'm talking about hanging well as i do a lot of spraying so the bulk of the our projects are going to be sprayed and we want to paint…
