What is the difference between Aura and Regal Select?

Aura is the highest quality and most luxury choice of the Benjamin Moore products you can get. It's known for its richness in color and color lock technology that helps it withstand high humidity. Regal Select is another high-quality product, but it's more cost-effective and has slower application time.

Do you carry eco-friendly or low-VOC interior paint?

Yes, we do. Ultra Spec and Ben are Zero-VOC, whereas Aura and Regal Select are both low-VOC. They are all great choices for projects like schools, hospitals, and nurseries.

What's the best paint for high-traffic areas like hallways or entryways?

Scuff-X is known for its durability and scuff resistance. It's a fan favorite for areas that are used frequently or are used by kids or pets. The Satin and Semi-Gloss finishes also hold up well on trim and doors.

Can you help me find the right color and finish for my project?

Absolutely! Our team can go over your project with you and make sure you're buying the right paint color, finish, and application tools. We can also tell you how to apply each product so that you're happy with the finished product. This way you get your project done right the first time.

Finding the Right Exterior Paint For You

Here's what we carry:

Our Full Product Lineup

Aura® Exterior

Aura is the flagship of Benjamin Moore's paint selection due to its color lock technology, superior coverage, and adaptability to a variety of surfaces and climates. It's our top recommendation when you want the strongest fade resistance available for Maine's harsh seasonal swings. Aura Exterior colors are available in Flat, Low Lustre, Satin, and Soft Gloss.

Regal® Select Exterior

Regal Select is our best-selling line. For exterior projects, we recommend Regal Select High Build Exterior. It's great for a project that needs a thicker, high-build coat that fills hairline cracks in the substrate. It's available in Flat, Low Lustre, and Soft Gloss. For doors, trim, and vinyl siding, the Moorlife, Moorgard, and Moorglo sub-lines offer superior adhesion.

Woodluxe® Exterior Stain

Woodluxe is Benjamin Moore's exterior wood stain line. It's formulated to withstand humid climate, UV exposure, and temperature swings. This water-based Solid Stain option is a common choice for decking and siding, while the Ultra Flat product works well on siding and fencing. Woodluxe has semi-solid, semi-transparent, and translucent finishes in both water-based and oil-based formulas, so you can dial in on exactly how much wood grain shows through. We recommend translucent finishes for hardwoods, and semi-transparent and semi-solid options for softwoods.

Ultra Spec® Exterior

Ultra Spec is Benjamin Moore's commercial-grade line. It's designed for contractors and property managers handling large-scale or repeat projects. It's zero-VOC, which makes it a common pick alongside Ben for schools, hospitals, and other spaces where a zero-VOC product is specified. It's known for its fast dry times, resistance to wear and tear, and consistent results.

Built for Maine's Climate

Maine's weather goes to the extremes. Its freeze-thaw cycles, humidity, and long winters put real stress on exterior paint. That's why you want paint that looks good but is also built to withstand the elements. For that, we recommend Aura Exterior or Regal Select High Build Exterior. Wood siding, cedar shakes, and older substrates tend to show cracking first in a Maine winter. This is exactly what the High Build formula is designed to fill and protect against.

For stained wood surfaces like decks, fences, and log homes, Woodluxe is formulated to hold up against the same humidity and UV exposure that breaks down lesser stains over a Maine summer and winter. However, if you want alternative options our team can help you match the right product to your surface material and sun exposure.

When to Paint: Timing Your Exterior Project Around Maine's Seasons

Exterior paint needs the right temperature and humidity conditions to cure properly, and in Maine, that timeframe is narrow. Late spring through early fall is typically the safest stretch for exterior painting. During these seasons, overnight temperatures usually stay above the low-to-mid 50s.

However, painting too early in spring or too late in the fall risks poor adhesion and premature cracking, due to increased rainfall or dropping temps. Especially on the south-facing side of a building. If you're planning an exterior paint project, our team can help you get it right the first time.

Custom Color and Stain Matching

Not sure what color or stain you have? Bring in a swatch or even a chip of your existing paint or stain. Then our team can create a custom match using Benjamin Moore's tinting system. This works for exterior paint as well as stains like Woodluxe and Cabot, so touch-ups and additions match the original project.
