Why Contractors in the Bahamas Choose Benjamin Moore Aura® Paint
As a paint contractor, you know the quality of your paint job in the Bahamas depends on the quality of the paint. While relying on an off-brand product might offer lower initial cost of investment, using unreliable paint will only cause frustration in multiple coatings and reduce the look of your final project.
Benjamin Moore is one of the best paint manufacturers available to the islands and is recognized for its outstanding durability in the Bahama climate. At Supershade South, we are based in the US in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Our team has spent decades servicing contractors across South Florida, the Carribean, and the Bahamas in sourcing Benjamin Moore paint for all their professional jobs.
One of our favorite Benjamin Moore paint lines is Aura® Paint for its resistance to humidity. Today, we discuss how Aura® Interior & Exterior Paint stands up to strong island climates, why it’s a good choice for contractors, and how Supershade South can help you order it for special delivery to the islands.
Choosing Lines of Benjamin Moore Aura® Paint for Different Purposes
Benjamin Moore Aura® Bath and Spa Paint is the perfect choice for interiors with maximal performance needs. If your clients want areas like bathrooms and spas painted, this is the perfect choice. This paint will lock in color with a matte finish for a luxurious look perfect across your home.
Aura® Interior Paint is also an excellent choice, with more finish options that will transform any interior space with unparalleled color and depth. This long-lasting paint not only looks completely gorgeous but it stands the test of time, and hides in fewer coats than less premium paint options ith no color rub-off, and resistance to scuffing and burnishing.
Aura® Exterior Paint is the go-to paint for outdoor projects. It applies easily in all weather conditions. You will not have to worry about multiple coats as this paint boasts superb application and hide.
Understanding Paint Finishes
The finish of your paint selection makes a big difference—especially in the Bahamas, where salt air, humidity, strong UV, and frequent cleaning can all shorten a coating’s life. Supershade South offers a range of Benjamin Moore sheens so contractors can match to each space.
- Matte: Best for ceilings and low-traffic interior walls where you want maximum hide. Flat has no shine and is more forgiving on imperfect substrates (patches, slight texture differences).
- Eggshell: A go-to for interior living areas when you need a cleanable finish without highlighting wall defects. Eggshell works well in bedrooms, hallways, and common areas.
- Satin: A strong choice for the Bahamas because it holds up well to humidity and cleaning, but satin can show roller lines and surface flaws more than eggshell or matte finishes.
- Semi-Gloss: Recommended for trim, doors, cabinets, and wet-prone zones. Semi-gloss cures to a harder, smoother finish, cleans easily, and resists moisture better than lower sheens.
- High-Gloss: Best for maximum durability and a sharp, polished look on feature trim, doors, railings, and cabinetry, but it will highlight imperfection, so it’s only recommended when the substrate has been properly sanded, filled, and primed.
Ordering Benjamin Moore to the Bahamas with Supershade South

- Are you planning for several projects or just one? Do the calculations so your order is precise and offers a little more than you may need for touch-ups.
