DIYbanter - View Single Post - Uneven sheen with low-sheen latex enamel on drywall

wrote:
Our painter sprayed a primer for latex paint onto our new
smoothly-textured drywall.

After a few days, he sprayed on two (2) coats of a low-sheen latex
enamel.

After drying, the ceilings and walls have a number of areas that are
lower/higher sheen than the rest, as seen by looking along the walls,
ceilings.

Is this the inevitable downside of sheen enamel on drywall or could it
be the painter/paint, etc.

It is because of uneven absorption (needed more/better primer), uneven
application of either/both primer and top coat or not stirring the top
coat paint sufficiently to evenly distribute the flatting agent.

The painter claims a 3rd coat will fix everything.

Probably will.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

It's the painter's problem, not yours.
