Benjamin Moore Paint Finish Question
Comments (8)Had to look this up, as I've never heard the term Pearl finish before. "Uses Because of their easy-to-clean quality, pearl pain finishes are often used in kitchens and bathrooms. They are also commonly used for trim details, such as doors, window frames, base moldings and crown moldings." Just finished first coat of Aura paint in my BR, and have now realized that he sold me the plain Aura, not the Bath and Spa...arghhh...even had the girl plug into the computer that it was going in my BR (though that was after it had been mixed). Oh well, we have addressed moisture issues with a ceiling fan and pocket door and towel warming rack, so should be OK. Good news is it looks so pretty!...See Moresatin question - Kelly Moore vs Benjamin Moore
Comments (2)There is no universal definition for sheens that all companies use, so it's unlikely the sheen will be the same. The real question is if you need a high sheen for the kitchen anyway. Old school thinking was that kitchens and baths always had to have a high sheen. With the advent of higher performance matte and eggshell finishes from many paint companies, this is no longer the case. I painted my kitchen and bathroom with Aura matte 4 years ago, both still look like the day I painted them in spite of heavy use for both. Never met anyone that wants their walls shiny - no need to go there unless you happen to be the exception to the rule....See MoreBenjamin Moore Exterior Paint Question
Comments (4)We just bought Regal Select from our BM paint store. The salesman said no need to pay for Aura, the Regal would do the job very well....See MoreHas anyone painted with Benjamin Moore’s Boothbay Gray.
