Nutshell Review: Love it!

Full Review: Since moving into our new home, we've used Benjamin Moore's new zero-VOC primer and paint on both our walls and our floors. We love it and doubt we'll ever use anything else again. There's no odor at all, and it goes on smoothly and covers well -- and it dries in about an hour.

If it's like Aura, they can match anything, the geniuses at the Ben Moore place.

I've got one coat of this on the walls in my hallway. I'm really happy with it! They can make any color you want - I love picking the Benjamin Moore colors, just because they are so fabulous. It's great stuff.

The biggest complaint I've heard about zero VOC paints is much more fading than traditional paints. So after a few months, how are things looking for your test sample? :)

Well, the color fading may be true of other brands, but with Benjamin Moore's Water Borne Platform; Aura, Natura, Eco-Spec and Ben they use Color Lock technology. What does that mean to the end user?

It will not fade or rub off like other No-VOC counter parts! obviously Aura is more durable then Natura, you do give up a little scrub cycles. However, compare to other brands it is awesome.

Benjamin Morre has excellent colors; Historical, Affinity, Classic, Previewer and Pottery Barn collections. I found a company that will make any Benjamin moore Paint Color for you on a 20"x20" sample and send it to you for $7.99!

Yep, $7.99 instead of $20 a quart to try color.
