Like its interior sibling, Benjamin Moore's new Aura Exterior paint line only needs one coat to look like your crews coated the house twice. The paint dries faster and delivers what the company guarantees will be a smooth and durable finish that lasts in even the worst environments. Making it all happen is the company's Color Lock technology, which encapsulates color pigment in the paint resin to resist fading and the elements.
