ADVANCE Interior/Exterior Paint
Grade: Premium Paint
Finishes: High Gloss
Formula Type: Waterborne Alkyd
Benjamin Moore ADVANCE’s waterborne alkyd formula delivers the superior flow and leveling characteristics of oil-based paint, yet it fully cures in just 5 days and cleans up with soap and water. Alkyd paints are incredibly durable and stand up to repeated washing due to the way they dry and cure. This formula, combined with the superior fade resistance of Benjamin Moore’s Gennex® Color Lock technology, makes ADVANCE our top choice for a lasting high-gloss finish on exterior doors and trim. It is also mold and mildew resistant and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.westchesterpainters.net
Regal Select Exterior
Grade: Premium Paint
Finishes: Flat, Low Lustre, Soft Gloss
Formula Type: Acrylic with Alykd Technology
Benjamin Moore’s Regal Select Exterior is a 100% acrylic-fortified paint made with alkyd technology—an advanced type of resin that enhances adhesion and leveling for a smooth finish that hides brush strokes and roller marks. Regal Select performs well on nearly every surface, even hard-to-coat substrates like PVC siding, chalky materials, and pitted masonry. This makes it an excellent choice for a DIY project at a lower price point than the ultra-premium AURA.
Available in all of Benjamin Moore’s 3,500 paint colors and three sheens, Regal Select Exterior is highly durable, resisting mildew, fading, cracking , and peeling. Like AURA Exterior, it can also be applied in temperatures down to 35°F, extending the painting season.TESTIMONIALS
AURA Exterior Paint
Grade: Ultra-Premium Paint
Finishes: Flat, Low Lustre, Satin, Soft Gloss
Formula Type: 100% Waterborne Acrylic Latex
AURA Exterior is the finest exterior paint available, providing exceptional fade-resistance, moisture protection and durability. Its Color Lock Technology offers superior fade resistance, and easy application for a rich, smooth finish that has an outstanding lifespan. Benjamin Moore has developed high-performing additives that combat humid conditions making it a great choice for high-moisture environments.
AURA is available in four sheens across more than 3,500 paint colors—the most variety of any paint brand on the market—including a selection of 75 vinyl-safe colors. Its thick formula hides color extremely well in fewer coats, and doesn’t require a primer on most surfaces. We also love that the acrylic latex formula can be applied in temperatures as low as 35°F so that homeowners have more time in the year to get their fresh coat of paint!
