Has any one tried tried that new Aora paint made by Ben Moore. It's a bit expensive but saved a ton of time.

I did 3 rooms this weekend. Walls were a 2base brown and it covered in one coat with a few touch ups. The higher sheens touch up like flat paint where you can go back and retouch.

I did the trim in the Aora one coat in white and used the Moresco flat white for the ceilings. I saved a ton of time in labor .

Use Aura anytime we have to paint a red color. It always covers in two coats.

I went over a yellow wall with rhubarb red in Aura - took 3 coats!

I Used it last week, color was Southwest pottery and it almost covered in one coat. We did a touch up in the middle of the wall and couldn't see it. I'm still not sold on $47.00 dollars a gallon. Maybe just for dark accent walls.

I don't use that crappy pad they recommend. Get better coverage with a 50/50 3/8ths nap pad.

Yup

Yeah, the stuff's Da Shiznit
Completely awesome, extremely low odor, extreme hide, no primer, no burnish, no surfactant leaching, super quick drying, super scrubble, super touch-upable, mongo durable, incredible finishing money maker in a can
So...I guess I think it doesn't suck

lol

Now I did not have good success with (one of my favorites) the 50/50
In fact, I did not even finish the wall with it when I tested it
I felt the Aura cover was better
Though the White Doves work great too
I haven't found what I feel to be the "best" yet

I'll trade pads with ya!.....kidding. I kept the BM cover and might try it again, but like you I was part way through the wall and switched, just to the opposite cover.
