AURA® Exterior Paint3 Unique AURA® Exterior Technologies

Proprietary paint ingredients and technology have long set Benjamin Moore apart and are key to quality painting results.
Ultra-premium AURA® Exterior includes:

  • Color Lock® Technology: Available only in AURA® brand paint, Color Lock® embeds pigment within binding molecules and locks color into the paint film.
  • New Acrylic Resin: Available only in AURA® Exterior, this new resin provides excellent film formation, improved UV and fade resistance, and superior gloss retention.
  • Gennex® Color Technology: Removes unnecessary components that weaken paint, which results in better hide, flow and leveling, and durability.

Exterior Paint That Goes Above and Beyond

AURA® Exterior’s beautiful results also deliver real-world benefits that matter to homeowners:

  • Mildew-resistant coating
  • Low-temperature application that extends the painting season with application temps as low as 35°F (1.7°C).
  • Vinyl siding readiness: Upgrade your vinyl siding with AURA® Exterior in vinyl-safe colors.
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty

High-Performance: A Deeper Dive

Additional technical features of AURA® Exterior paint that painting professionals count on include:

  • Substantial film formation from the very first coat, so jobs can be finished faster, using less paint.
  • Improved block resistance and reduced tack, which increases job site efficiency and minimizes disruption.
  • A breathable coating that is less prone to blistering that provides long-term durability and protection.

The Beauty of a Premium Exterior Paint

When it comes to the just-right paint color for your home exterior consider these tips:
Draw inspiration from your home’s surroundings, from landscaping to neighboring exterior design styles.

  • Highlight your exterior’s architectural elements, using paint color to creatively highlight trim, gables, columns, porches, and more.
  • Remember sheen: While low lustre finishes on home exteriors are popular, consider a higher sheen on your exterior: AURA® Exterior’s exclusive acrylic resin ensures superior gloss retention for satin and soft gloss exterior finishes.
  • Remember your front door: Extend a warm welcome with the right color. We love AURA® Exterior paint in a satin or soft gloss for a beautiful, slightly glossy finish. Get our expert tips for repainting your front door on your own!
