Morning everyone
I'm having a bit of 'fun' with the above paint in our front room. The room was previously a pale blue (contract matt??) and we are repainting in Dulux trade vinyl matt (orchid white).
I'm no pro but I'd say I'm not bad at decorating - I don't think I'm being stingy with the paint and I don't think I'm over-rolling it but I've now done 3 coats with a hamilton perfection roller and the paint is still looking patchy in places.
From previous experience with Dulux vinyl matt I'd normally expect to do 2 coats - probably 3 in this case due to the colour change...I nearly did a coat of supermatt (in a similar colour) to begin with and I'm wishing I had done that now!
Any recommendations, as I'm a bit stumped, last time I had this kind of issue was before I discovered trade paint? I'm going to have to do another coat tonight - annoying as I'm going to have to get another 5l of paint so I may as well do another complete coat (I have about 2l of the same colour in Diamond Matt but I wouldn't want to try and blend that in with the vinyl matt unless I use it all up to do a complete coat). While I'm at it I was going to ditch the Hamilton sleeve and replace with a Pro-Dooz.
