Benjamin Moore AURA Bath & Spa Interior Paint, Matte

Recommended For: Bathroom and sauna applications. New or previously painted wallboard, plaster, and masonry and primed or previously painted metal and wood.

Surface Preparation: Surfaces to be painted must be clean, dry, and free of dirt, dust, grease, oil, soap, wax, scaling paint, water-soluble materials, and mildew. Remove any peeling or scaling paint, and sand these areas to feather edges smooth with adjacent surfaces. Glossy areas should be dulled. Drywall surfaces must be free of sanding dust. Spot prime with Aura Bath & Spa Matte Finishes before and after filling nail holes, cracks, and other surface imperfections. Surfactant leaching is a common problem in areas where moisture concentrates on walls like bathrooms & showers. While Aura Bath & Spa Matte Finish has excellent resistance to surfactant leaching. Surfactant leaching stains on existing coatings must be removed prior to painting. Thoroughly wash surfaces to be painted, removing any surfactants that may be on the substrate then allow to dry. Areas with heavy surfactant leaching should also be primed with Fresh Start Multi-Purpose Latex Primer (N023) or Fresh Start High-Hiding All Purpose Primer (046) before applying Aura Bath & Spa Matte Finish.

For best results: allow a minimum of 24 hours before returning to full service.

Primer/Finish Systems: Aura Bath & Spa Matte Finish is self-priming on most surfaces. Two coats of Aura Bath & Spa is recommended on all surfaces for best results.
