Hi guys just got a job in and the client wants b/m regal matte
aura eggshell
aura satin
is there anything that seperates these paints from superpaint or duration that I need to know or does it go on much or less the same.

Aura drys quick
Don't leave that brush out during lunch...it'll be a spatula

Regal Matte, you can load it up thick as thieves
Aura...not so much
If Aura is sagging, you are going on too thick
You can't load it up like Regal Matte
If Aura is pulling, dragging or lifting, you are over-brushing/-rolling or going too slow

Regal Matte still works best to cutawall, rollawall
Aura you're better off cutting the room, rolling the room
(unless it's pretty small and you are pretty fast)

Don't worry about keeping touch-ups on holidays in the wet with Aura
You can go back later and even the eggshell touches up like a pat of butter on a hot baked potato
In fact, since it dries so fast, you could pull/drag, so you are better off waiting and touching up later

thanks for your informative answer, what about when your speckling little holes or the like do you still have to spot prime either product.

Nail holes with lightweight latex spackle, no
Wouldn't hurt to slap a little on the spots while you are cutting in
But if you forget, it won't be an issue

Joint compound repairs
Regal Matte yes, you should prime
Aura eggshell no need per say, but I'd hit the joint compound repair areas with a spot coat (like a spot prime) of Aura just for insurance against possible flashing

Well just to let you all know how I got on with the 2 products ( b/m regal and aura
The regal was standard as per application and the aura dried quicker but did not find anything else to worry about oh and yes it was easy to touch up without flashing, and it did not require to be spot primed after speckling. I also used a 1/2 nap sleeve due to the levelling qualities of the product.
