I painted my kitchen a deep red (satin finish) with Valspar pain from Lowes. It looks pretty darn good. I was afraid it would be a streaky mess but actually turned out great with a dark grey primer undereneath. There is however one wall that has like 3 streaks on it. Do you think it would fix the streaks to repaint that wall with another coat of red or would i run too great a risk of making it look really streaky with a second coat?

it sounds like you have a condtion in the industry known as flashing I would sugest that you take a quart or two of flat paint in the same color paint that wall in the flat then paint the wall in satin the trick is with any paint that has any gloss at all is an even coat and not stoping and by painting one wall at a time

You might try painting a "light" coat over the "streaks" (after it drys) . If you paint the whole wall you take the chance of that wall being just a bit darker red than the other walls. When I say a "light" coat , I mean with a moist but not wet roller. A couple of passes should do it. Hope this helps to cure your problem.

A second coat of paint should do the trick.
Your kitchen sounds beautiful!

I would give it all a second coat so you don't have a variation in the color.
