Hi
Decorating our kitchen at the minute. One of the walls we are doing in a deep red. We first bought kitchen paint, even after two coats the wall was very patchy, you could even see a pencil mark on the wall where I had circled an area for filling prior to painting. I thought the paint may have been a bad mix / batch, so took it back to B&Q and explained the situation. I was advised to give it two coats of white matt to 'even out' the colour, then he replaced the 'kitchen' paint with Dulux 'Endurance' which he said is tougher. Even now after a further two coats the wall is still patchy, not as bad as previous but patchy.
What could be causing this? This is the last room to decorate after moving in and non of the other 10 rooms have reacted this way. If this is still patchy after a third coat I am taking it back and buying normal matt paint in the same colour.
Any ideas?
