Hi,
I have had 3 rooms replastered and have repainted (50;500thinned basecoat) with no problem except main bedroom ceiling looks patchy. Its made worse as I have alarge south facing window which goes nearly to ceiling height.
At first thought this was plaster showing through but have now put on 4 coats(Wickes trade comtract matt emulsion) and realise its differing texture using new medium pile roller. Paint probably contains lots of filler as it covers well but is thick. I tried to maintain uniform wet surface but difficult as it was warm and paint dried within 1 or 2 minutes
In desperation I've tried sanding it but now left with smooth areas and some areas with texture as its not dead flat
I'm thinking about using a fine roller and different paint but any advice would be much appreciated.

) wont touch rollers either, he does a cracking job by brush but it takes him as long to do one wall as I take to paint two rooms (which is why I dont employ him often?) Buy a good quality medium/long pile 12"-14" sleeve , cant say I ever leave any 'marks'9no-ones complained yet anyhow)
