Why does my new "color changing" Dutch Boy ceiling paint keep drying uneven?

Question

After two attempts the paint I've put on my ceiling still looks like I've missed spots or applied it unevenly. The paint is throughly mixed and when applied looks purplish in collor and is supposed to dry white. Instead it has very uneven white markings.

Answer 1

Priming is key when painting and ceilings are notorious for being very porous and looking uneven, You should have given it a good coat of BIN or Kilz first. This seals it especially if there are any water marks. You can still seal it if you're willing to paint it 2 more times though.

Answer 2

You screwed up- Painting is a skill- not a pleasure. You painted unevenly and probably used a brush and roller. Did you prime? 2 coats of primer Also color changing paint means exactly that. Maybe some area's aren't as dry as others due to excessive application.

Answer 3

there are various techniques to this color matching, yet I quite have discovered the main relaxing is to place in a coving around the ceiling, and then paint it white, no remember in case you have a white or cream ceiling. The white ceiling, even in spite of the shown fact that, will supply the effect of extra height to the room, and could mirror extra gentle.

Answer 4

did you primer the ceiling before you try ed to paint it ?
if not the old celing is soaking up the paint a little of a time
, if your not happy ,i would consider re primering it ,and give it two coats of semi gloss paint .
use a roller it goes on much better .............
