I am going to use the method that funcolors Michael suggested and do one coat of primer and one coat of whipped cream Aura and let you know what I experience. One of my own houses room is a darkish plum. Thanks again for all of your advice and support. I said I would because it really was a pain in the neck to paint so many coats of primer and I would love to give it a try. The man in the BM store said it would probably be better if I tried out the Aura when I had more time and was just painting one room. It went on great, seemed to cover well in one coat, after all that primer I expect it would. the lowest level of the high quality paints that they carry at that store. I said no, he said what and I went back to Orchard where the elderly paint expert who only works Saturdays was happy to see me again and mix up whatever I wanted with his optical color scanner. I said I neededtp buy some paint and I needed some therapy because I was still having a hard time with the concept, but what stumped my was that they don't do optical scanning and they don't give you the paint right away: for a hand matched color-(I had made my own paint chip by mixing several off whites till I got just the right color of whipped cream I wanted for the primer and we wanted to use it for the paint as well), could I come back Monday afternoon. So after re reading all of the advice, I went back to the paint store prepared to pay for the Aura. I really don't think we are at that point yet where we can say Aura is best for every job, every time because it's expensive and sometimes the cheaper paint will give you the best bang for your buck which is really the most important thing. Also, Aura is green and it touches up pretty well for a washable paint. That is a huge time savings, which makes the extra cost for Aura worth it.

If it is a dark color you are painting with, then Aura will cover in two coats versus other brands that may take a tinted primer plus 3 coats. It is probably the most durable paint on the market, so if washability is something you care about, then I would get the Aura. When deciding whether or not to drop the extra money on Aura, I think there are some key points to consider. That's not really true either since some of the lighter colors, especially those creamy or yellow types, can still take three coats for complete coverage. They say most colors cover in one coat, with a maximum of two. If there was nothing going on with the wall other than a dark color that needs to be covers, you probably didn't even need one coat of primer if you're using Aura.īenjamin Moore has never really claimed that Aura covers in one coat, but somehow along the way people thought they did so now that is what everyone thinks. Primer is just a coat meant to give the top coat better coverage and/or to seal out some kind of existing issue on the wall - color isn't one of those issues. When primer is applied properly and evenly, it's normal for primer to look sketchy, uneven, patchy. Not to mention durability and wear factors of one coats vs.

You still need to do two full coats of color for best color resolution and ensure you get it all covered - no one can paint in one coat without the occasional holidays. But that's not a complete nor proper paint job. Aura for the most part does just what it says, covers in one coat. Aura covers in one coat, but that's not to say that's where you're suppose stop.
