The different sheen levels are most often the result of overworking the paint. different areas of the paint are thicker than others, and the thicker parts dry slower than the thinner parts. so when you run your roller over it to remove the roller lines, it picks up up tacked thin parts and gives them a rough texture. Go back and try it again with a 12mm nap synthetic/lambswool blend 230 mm (not 270) and do it very slowly in no more than 2 passes. one pass of the roller to apply the paint, and one pass to level it out. one roller application should cover 2 lineal metres by one roller width, then reload roller. give that a shot in that area and see if you can get a uniform texture. Re: Ceiling paint looks chalky & patchy 12Jul 25, 2015 1:40 pm Ok so I had another go. Gave it a lite sand Changed paint changed roller tray changed paint changed my rolling pattern as advised by rebuilder86 turned off heater and.......exactly the same the patchiness remains. I then tried another room my outdoor patio ceiling came out perfect no lines patches or anything. I am convinced there is something wrong with that room. Because the paint was perfect before I am starting to think I damaged the ceiling when I did the very first coat with the heater on paint dried too quickly and it has made it rough. Any ideas recommendations? Re: Ceiling paint looks chalky & patchy 13Jul 26, 2015 8:23 pm i blame the paint then! last resort, but that is the most likely culprit if you are certain you have eliminated application problems. Re: Ceiling paint looks chalky & patchy 14Jun 29, 2017 9:14 pm We are having the same issue. Country NSW, ceiling was perfectly fine but in a tinted colour prior so wanted to paint it white. Used Taubmans easy coat flat white. Four coats later, last one with windows wide open, new fluffier roller....still patchy and see all the roller lines. Definitely think it dried too fast when the first coat or two were done. Paint seemed quite thick and gluggy, so even did a coat with watered down paint. Don't know how to fix it.
