Benjamin Moore ADVANCE Satin 792 vs Benjamin Moore Aura Interior Paint

Buy ADVANCE Satin 792 for cabinets, doors and trim: its waterborne alkyd levels out brush and roller marks and cures to a hard, washable film that resists blocking. Buy Aura for walls and large interior surfaces: it is a 100% acrylic that self-primes, touches dry in about an hour and recoats in an hour, with Color Lock Technology for color that does not rub off. Owners praise ADVANCE for a sprayed-smooth finish and soap-and-water cleanup; Aura rates 4.6 out of 5 and is liked for hide and scrub resistance. The trade-off is speed against finish: Aura is far faster to recoat, ADVANCE gives the smoother, harder trim finish.

• Choose the ADVANCE Satin 792 if you are painting cabinets, doors or trim and want alkyd-level flow and a hard, scrubbable finish with water cleanup.
• Choose the Aura if you are painting walls, ceilings or whole rooms and want a self-priming acrylic that recoats in an hour and holds color without rub-off.
