I realize this is a old thread but I use Aura or Regal Select for all my interior projects. Although they are both high end paint plus primer paints and they are both Green Promise Zero Voc, there are two main difference between Regal Select and Aura. First, Aura is self leveling where Regal Select is not. Because Aura self levels, it sets up fast which does not allow for it to be back rolled. If rolled correctly Aura will give a much smoother finish because of this feature, however if it has been back rolled or over worked, then you will get patchy spots. The second difference is that Aura was designed to use with any Benjamin Moore full spectrum Colour Stories Palette colours. These colours do not have any black or gray tints which causes the colours to change from room to room and in different light, hence the full spectrum. CSP colours can only be mixed with Aura paint. Aura is my favourite interior paint, but it's not for everyone because it sets up very fast. Adding Floetrol can extend the open time but you still need to get the feel of Aura to get a flawless finish. Aura can be tinted to any Benjamin Moore colour but it does tend to colour shift more than Regal Select. Depending on what the clients colour choice and home style is will determine what I recommend. Aura is best for CSP colours, sun walls and bright stairwells for a smooth finish and it has slightly better coverage than Regal Select. Both are highly cleanable when cured.

I found that Lowes Olympic plain ole Flat white interior paint covered my ceilings well. I had some oopses from painting & tried to cover them with BM ceiling paint. That was awful. Finally, I had some Lowes junky paint & it worked beautifully. The Lowes paint mentioned above is not very bright, just a medium white.

Hmm, I'm going to have to check the can. I also have some FreshStart, I'm not sure which one which painter used on the walls and which on the ceilings. I also have a can on one of them tinted green for priming patches on the Sage and Jade walls. Guess I'll just go over the lower wall with the FreshStart (white) if the green one is that kind, and start over again. I just grabbed the primer on top. Maybe that's why my ceilings flash too? I blamed it on the ceiling paint but maybe it's the primer. I might just leave the little bit of wall over the cabinet. It's not too noticeable unless the kitchen sink light is on and you're standing at the end of the FR looking at the top of the cabinets. If I ever get crown molding up, you might not even see it. I just don't want to hit the ceiling again - already had to wipe some Navajo White off the Muresco ceiling white and now there's a shiny patch. If I touch it up it'll be a bright white patch. We just repainted the ceilings last year after the builder fixed cracks - maybe I can convince DH to repaint them in another 5 years? Sometimes I think this house will never be done - and I'm not even talking about the master bath!

Wow, this also happened to me. It was my bathroom floor which was mercifully small. Fortunately (or maybe not) it was my brother-in-law's work, a great guy who was just helping me out. :( He finished the job and left for home, on the other side of Calif. I was just cleaning up and noticed chunks of grout would pop out and/or turn back to sand. The tile store said it was because my grout was old and it would have to come out and be regrouted. As I was on hands and knees removing grout, entire tiles began to lift off. So, not just the grout was bad, but he had screwed up simply laying the tile. It was a total Charlie Foxtrot. At the time I was undone by this, the last in a series of well-intentioned blunders that made my poor bathroom a disaster. I paid a guy to redo the entire floor with new tile. The bathroom and I recovered. Hopefully you and your floor will too.
