Ensure the surface is clean and free of grease, wax, and mildew.

• Remove any chalk and loose or scaling paint.
• If previously coated with cement-base waterproofing paints, clean by sandblasting.
• Glossy surfaces must be dulled.
• Un-weathered areas such as eaves, ceilings, and overhangs should be washed with a detergent solution and/or rinsed with a strong stream of water from a garden hose to remove contaminants that can interfere with proper adhesion.
• Stains from mildew must be removed by cleaning with Benjamin Moore Clean (318) or similar product prior to coating the surface.
• For metal surfaces, remove rust.
• Wipe down with paint thinner to remove surface oils.
• Difficult Substrates: Benjamin Moore offers a number of specialty primers for use over difficult substrates such as bleeding woods, grease stains, crayon markings, hard glossy surfaces, or other substrates where paint adhesion or stain suppression is a particular problem. See Datasheet for more information.

Always test a small area of the surface to be painted to ensure compatibility

• Stir thoroughly before and during use
• Apply one or two coats
• AURA Exterior is self-priming on most properly prepared substrates, including: wood, fibre cement board, hardboard, nonferrous metals and cured masonry surfaces. On bare substrates two coats are required; previously painted surfaces can be finished with 1 or 2 coats.
• Use the same application techniques as you would for any low-VOC compliant coating
• For best results, use a Benjamin Moore Premium roller or Premium extra firm nylon polyester brush, or a similar product.
• AURA paint features excellent flow and levelling; it’s not necessary to over brush to smooth out brush marks. AURA® dries faster than other acrylic paints; avoid lap marks by not painting in direct sunlight and by coating sections of the surface either down or across the structure to natural breaks, maintaining a wet edge. If your edge begins to dry or you see that you missed a spot and the paint is already setting up, allow it to dry completely before touching up that area.
• This product can also be sprayed. Spray, Airless: Pressure: 2,000-3,000 psi; Tip: 0.015-0.017. Under normal application conditions AURA® may be sprayed to achieve a high build one coat system over properly prepared substrates that are in good condition. See Datasheet for more information.
• Conditioning with Benjamin Moore Paint Extender may be necessary under certain conditions to adjust open time or spray characteristics. Add 518 Extender or water - Max of 236 mL to a can of 3.79 L Never add other paints or solvents.
• Do not apply when air and surface temperatures are below 1.7 °C (35 °F)

Note: Certain deep custom colours may require Fresh Start High-Hiding All Purpose Primer Deep Base (046-04) tinted to a special prescription formula to achieve the desired colour.

Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the tin
