Patchy wall paint advice

[JamieB3009]

Hello,

I am after some advice regarding a patchy wall issue as im at my wits end with it now!!

I have been painting all walls in my kitchen using dulux trade diamond matt and a hamilton perfection roller. All walls look great but I have one long wall which is approx 7m long and when the light through a set of patio doors hits across it at a shallow angle it looks so patchy. I have put 3 coats on, tried doing the wall in small sections to keep a wet edge and made sure not to over work the paint but it still looks patchy. Can anyone recommend what would be best to sort this? Would sanding it down and repainting with the same paint be best or would it be better to go for something like ultramatt (which i have used on the ceilings) to have less sheen? Are priducts such as dulux basecoat any good for trying to even things out before.a recoat?

Any advice is greatly received.

Thanks

Jamie

15 inch or bigger roller.
Paint horizontal.
Load roller and roll right to left in one go along ceiling line. I hold roller in my hand,
keeping an even speed.
Load roller. Drop down 12 to 13 inchs for overlap and roll right to left in one go.
Don't be tempted to do any above where you painted. What is stays.
Finish along skirting.


Even when I paint wall horizontal I do a band top to bottom and remove roller from wall then top to bottom so it is keeping roller nap the same.

I often finish a big wall horizontal though

Thank you for the response. I didnt think to go horizontal as most things recommended vertical but I will most definitely try that. I am by no means a professional but aim to get a good finish. Below is a photo of the wall in question.

Being a durable it don't like dry walls. Seal with Gardz and diamond matt flows on a treat
