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. Looks terrible. druving us nuts. 2 822 Hi Everyone, Ripped up the carpet and the surface below gas come loose and you can see the slab below.
