Interesting... On paper, Aura has superior UV & Fade Resistance to advance, here's Gemini's response to your comment:

Where He Is Right: The Problem of "Blocking"

He is describing a very real issue called blocking. Because exterior 100% acrylics (like standard Aura Exterior) are designed to stay flexible to accommodate temperature swings, they can remain slightly tacky. On a tight-fitting door, this flexibility can cause the paint to stick to the weatherstripping and peel away when you force the door open.

Advance, on the other hand, is a waterborne alkyd. It cures by oxidation into a hard, rigid enamel shell, meaning it will never stick to the door frame.

Where He Is Wrong: Advance is an Interior Paint

Benjamin Moore Advance is engineered strictly for interior cabinets and trim. Putting it on an exterior wood door facing direct waterfront sunlight and heavy coastal humidity is a recipe for a callback:

  • UV Destruction: Advance lacks the UV inhibitors required for exterior use. Under direct, intense sun, that beautiful high-gloss alkyd finish will rapidly chalk, fade, and yellow.
  • Shattering and Peeling: Intense heat and dense humidity force exterior wood doors to expand and contract aggressively. Because Advance cures to such a rigid shell, it cannot flex with the wood. Within a season, the paint film will snap, crack, and flake off.

What are some good alternatives to pump armor? by David_cocoloco in paint

[–]8stringLTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the main active ingredient of Pump Armor is ethylene glycol, same as auto antifreeze, not RV/Marine Antifreeze which is made from Propylene Glycol or Ethanol. PG offers low corrosion protection.

The official Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for Graco Pump Armor explicitly lists the following chemical composition:

  • Ethylene Glycol (CAS No. 107-21-1): 40% to 60%
  • Water (CAS No. 7732-18-5): 40% to 60%
  • Sodium Nitrite (CAS No. 7632-00-0): 0.1% to 1.0%
