paint mismatch
 

Bought 4 gallons of Home Depot (Behr) latex paint for some room painting.

I used roller and edge tool to paint the first room. It looks great.

However, on the second room, the part where I used the edge tool shows up
lighter that the walls where I used the roller.

What would have caused this? The paint is completely dry now.

Thanks.

Most likely you didn't mix the separate gallons before using and "cut
in" the second room w/ different mix than you finished rolling out with.

Second, lighting differences and texture between the roller and the pad
can make apparent differences shade.

Did you mix all 4 together before painting.

Agreee with mixing all 4 gallons together, but color making is
extremely accurate these days. So its more likely that the paint is
thinner with the edge tool gizmo. ...

I'd say your luck w/ the mixing stations is better than mine, then...

Better than the old manual systems, but I always re-mix everything in
a 5 gal bucket first too.

Then you'd not know how good/bad the match is, then, anyway... V,VBG
