Just like its interior counterpart, Aura Exterior delivers remarkable hide and colors that are richer and fade resistant. Where it differs is in the durability category. Aura Exterior is specifically formulated to withstand the harshest weather conditions (good news for New England). It offers excellent resistance to cracking, peeling, and fading.

🏆 Aura Exterior is our staff's favorite. exterior siding and trim paint. We prefer Aura's low lustre sheen for siding and semi-gloss sheen for trim and doors.

Aura Exterior on siding: Most customers choose low lustre finish but some choose flat finish.

Aura Exterior on trim: 50/50 split between customers choosing satin and semi-gloss finish.

Matte (5-15% sheen) - For walls with imperfections and low-traffic areas. 

Eggshell (15-25% sheen) - The most common wall finish, a balanced sheen that hides some imperfections but is easy to keep clean.

Satin (25-45% sheen) - Most commonly used on trim and high-traffic walls. Durable and easily washable. 

Semi-gloss (45-65% sheen) - Used on trim, doors, and cabinets. Very durable.

1 gallon of paint will cover ~400 sq ft. Whereas 1 quart of paint will cover ~100 sq ft. To get a rough estimate of how much paint you will need, run through these steps: 

1. Add together the length of each wall. 

2. Multiply the sum of the wall length by the height of the wall to

3. find the total square footage of your room.

4. Subtract 20 square feet for each door and 10 square feet for each window.

5. Multiply that final room square footage number by 2 to get the total square footage for 2 coats of paint.

6. Divide the number by 400 (gallon = 400 sq ft) to determine the number of gallons you need to purchase for 2 coats of paint.
