Benjamin Moore Pratt: Aura, the First One-Coat Paint

There are a few companies that can be associated with a product. When we think of fast food, McDonald's is one of the first responses most of us will give. How about when we think about soda, most of us respond with Coca Cola. This can be seen in the paint

 industry as well. Most people associate Benjamin Moore with paint. Consumers do this because Benjamin Moore is a company that has popularized paint products for nearly a hundred years. You can find their products in nearly every store. They have remained cutting edge by offering almost every color imaginable. It appears they have made another major breakthrough with the introduction of their latest product, the Benjamin Moore Aura.

We understand that paint has remained relatively the same since the 1950s. Painters alike have grown accustomed to the comfortability and reliability that the current concept of paint provides us. The Benjamin Moore Aura is going to radically change how we look at paint with a total reinvention. Most paints fail to obscure dark colors in one simple coat. We have to apply several coats and allow drying to take place for several hours. The Aura promises to eliminate the hassle of applying numerous coats and having to wait as long.

Benjamin Moore Aura can completely cover all the dark colors in one single coat. You will no longer have to apply any primer as well. All that is needed is for you to lay down one coat and watch it dry within one hour. You can even sit back and watch the paint dry because the lingering odors of the past are gone as well. This has been made possible through enhancements in the chemistry of paint.

I bought the aura paint, which costs twice as much, for the one coat $50 a gallon instead of $25. I am an independant painting contractor and have been painting for 16 years. I have used it on 4 different houses...it DOES NOT cover in one coat. This is a lie. If they are talking about the dark browns, all paints cover well, about 1 coat, in dark brown. Also, it leaves many drips because it is so thick, but still does not cover with that thickness. In my utmost opinion, it is not worth it. Also, the contractor grade is the same product as the premium, just a little thinner for the purpose of spraying.

We chose Aura for the advertised benefit of ONE coat. We were covering a sage green with dijon... we used all BM products(brushes/rollers)and applied it liberally...it did not cover in one coat, we had to do the second coat.
