I’m a big fan of Aura, especially in matte finish. But for someone trying to save some money, Regal Select is also pretty good and mostly the same user experience.
Benjamin Moore products are the best. I currently have a painting business and have never strayed from them. (13 years). I’m just surprised over the years you always seemed to use Sherwin Williams Chris. My opinion they are night and day….good video.
I used Aura on an accent wall in a bathroom. Found it to be insanely thick, I use the Regal and Ultra Spec 500 on a regular basis and would stick with Regal 9/10
I painted both kids rooms and just painted mine with aura. Beautiful paint. Amazing coverage one coat each room and you can wipe off mess with ease and without damaging the finish. Pricey but to me if you value your time it’s worth.
We only use Benjamin Moore Aura. We’ve been using it for yrs. it glides beautifully, effortlessly. Best in the world!
I agree! Aura is my favorite paint. It’s a fantastic paint but the prices in my area have gone sky high. Used this in a remodel of a 4 bathroom/ shower/ washer dryer area at a Marina on the Atlantic Ocean and it has stood up beautifully in this high traffic area. No mold even with the high humidity and moisture. Perfect paint for frequent touch ups. I also like BM Regal Select. Would you do a comparison video on Regal vs Aura? ( Especially now with the high cost of paint!) Love your videos. Thank you for the info.
We just had our paint contractor use Aura Pale Oak matte, two coats for our entire home. We used BM paint samples on the walls prior and the samples are creating a halo through Aura. When we get direct sunlight in the room you can really see the outlines of the samples. This is disappointing for $90 paint. I was thinking about using the edge of a roller and dab over the areas. I just don't want to mess up a new paint job.
Im devout Benjamin Moore user, have been for years now. I've tried a bunch of other brands and nothing even comes close. I recently chose Aura for the inside of the house, it is for me hands down the easiest paint to work with (brush and roll, no spraying). I still use 2 coats. Thank you for the review. Keep up the pro tips, enjoy them and they do make life a lot easier.
Totally agree, just used it last week amazing coverage and great low sheen and durability. Was in love with scuff-x but aura matte is now going to be my go to!
I love auras touch up ability. So important!
Aura paint using a microfiber roller cover almost eliminates paint spatter. It is an excellent product
Aura is great, the only thing about high quality paints like this is the price, if youre doing an entire house with Aura its going to add up to a significantly higher price than if you used their Ben line, now if youre going to just get your living room painted it wont hurt as much in terms of price, but the paint does have a great finish, applies well, evens out and the amount of coverage is great. Its my favorite paint to use, regal is another good option from ben moore.
I’m definitely gonna use this throughout my house
The matte aura is the best matte on the market but its not worth the price. I get plenty of coverage from regal select and im saving atleast $10 to 25 a gal. I dont even want to ask whaty price is. Now after the price hikes. Great for a accent wall but not an entire house unless the owner pays the premium
Love the product! For cutting I like to use the BM Paint extender. It makes it a little easier to work with
what best thickness size of roller to paint with benj. moore AURA interior eggshell paint ? thanks,
I still love my Sherwin-Williams Cashmere
I use alot of Aura and Regal int and ext It is great paint I wish they would give contractors a discount I could get even more customers to go with it. Ben has a great ceiling paint as well idk if it has a name but it comes in the yellow can and hits all the bells and touches up.
If you ever get the name of it can you post it? Thanks
@@thepainter6347 The name of the ceiling paint from Ben is Ultra premium Waterborn
Excellent paint. But requires BM extender to slow drying to get it to lay smooth. Not too much or it will run. Pro tip: do your cuts and let them dry, Then roll the walls. Even with extender, this stuff dries too fast for wet edge.
Good tip
@@Idahopainter Chris, I just learned that there was a major reformulation of Aura early in 2022. Logos on your can indicate that it is the new version. As per official BM videos, they state the main goal increased workability (e.g. ability to backroll). . I'm going to grab a can tomorrow. Old version was excellent, but really tough to produce a stipple free finish even with extender, the recommended roller cover and proper technique. Very interested to see if the new one lays out better.
Aura paint is great for interior bath &spa !!!
There's a typo in the title
@IHave NoName that was not a helpful comment. Better to say, "I think you meant "thorough", not "through"
@@demesrvl6761 ok 👍
I painted whole house with it. One bathroom though had runs of surfactant when shower ran. All walls now need to be repainted. I wouldn’t use in a bathroom.
You need to use Aura Bath & Spa for that.
Hey Chris!
How much per gallon
Great review, Chris. Would you recommend Aura or Scuff-X for a stairwell? Thanks!
scuff x by a million if it's com/multi family.
@@Tehcarp it’s a single family home.
Would still do Scuff-X in a stairwell. Just know that the matte is more like eggshell.
@@ILruffian thanks!!!
@@Avital4414 Anytime. I detested Aura because of the thickness until I started putting the extender in it. Helps with the leveling to reduce stipple as well. Just be careful you don't use too much. It will drip/run on you if you go over about 5 oz/gal.
Most BM paint is always been good paint
I wish you could test regional brands. There are brands that do as well if not better than The Aura and are less expensive . they wash well resist stains and hide awesome. try some other regional brands .
I always use Regal the Aura is not all that better period ! No such thing as touch up ...one corner to the other...
I worked in a b Moore store back in the 90s as the “assistant mgr” (yes I know it’s a joke title) and when we did a coverage test on a wall in the back room it failed against every other paint.
As an 'assistant mgr', you probably weren't aware that Aura wasn't available in the 90s. Regal matte preceded Aura and was available in 2003. I don't believe Aura was released until 2007 so well after your back room tests.
@@19Photographer76 this person is just a negative Nelly, you can see it in their recent comments. Pretty sure it’s just a troll
Been a professional painter for 15 years doing mostly high end residential repaints - I think aura sucks
I spend my customers hard earned money on it
Sorry folks PPG paints are the best.
I see you increased your steroid use.
Aura sucks PERIOD! REGAL is a far better paint and the days of 1 coating anything with today's paints are a lie!
