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

What happens here

A significant positive aspect highlighted is the paint's exceptional touch-up ability. The reviewer describes seamlessly blending touched-up spots on trim and corners without visible marks. He reiterates the fast dry and recoat times, which allowed for efficient multi-coat application on diverse surfaces (metal, wood, vinyl) without flashing. Finally, he enthusiastically recommends Benjamin Moore Aura paint to both professional and DIY painters, emphasizing its quality as a lifetime warranty coating and a worthy investment, despite its retail price of around $79.99 per gallon.

Goal: Assess the paint's touch-up quality and make a final recommendation.
