FINISHES FOR AURA® INTERIOR PAINT & AURA® EXTERIOR PAINT

Once you have decided which surfaces in your home you will be painting with Benjamin Moore Aura® paints; you will need to determine which of our available finishes is best for the surfaces in your home.

• Matte/Flat: This finish is the best for hiding imperfections and covering minor faults in your surfaces. Flat paints are less reflective, but they are also harder to clean. They work best in low-traffic areas, ceilings, and on siding that needs extra help and coverage.
• Eggshell: Eggshell is a wonderful choice if you want a finish that has slightly more sheen but still provides decent hide. This finish is excellent for the living room, dining room, and bedroom walls.
• Satin/Low Lustre: These finishes are better for high-traffic areas as they are easier to wipe down and clean. Satin also makes trim stand out if you use matte, flat, or eggshell paint for the walls.
• Semi-Gloss/Soft Gloss: These finishes will highlight flaws and cracks in your surface, so they are best used on things like doors, trim, cabinets, wainscoting, shutters, and architectural details. Semi-gloss and soft gloss Aura® paints are also easy to clean.
• Gloss/High-Gloss: If you are looking for a way to make a paint job stand out, then gloss, and high-gloss finishes are the way to go. These finishes provide little to no hiding power, but they are easy to clean. High-Gloss is perfect for doors, cabinets, trim, and architectural details.

AURA® INTERIOR PAINT & AURA® EXTERIOR PAINT COLORS
