Patchiness generally occurs when insufficient paint has been applied or when paint is applied unevenly, resulting in a variation of the film build leading to patches.

What are the possible causes?

Inconsistent distribution of paint on the surface
Incorrect or low quality paint brush or roller
Failure to apply a primer over joint compound
Applying paint over joint compound not fully dried
The top coat is applied over spot-puttied surfaces
Variations in surface gloss can cause paint to appear patchy

What is the solution?

Increase the amount of paint on the brush or roller to allow better distribution
Apply the paint in a grid fashion to ensure an even finish
Allow puttied wall to dry evenly before priming
By applying one coat of appropriate premium Berger Primer
Apply two coats of premium Berger acrylic topcoat
Refer to Berger Technical Support for primer options

Poor hiding occurs when paint fails to obscure or hide the surface to which it is applied.

What are the possible causes?

Using low-quality paint with little hiding power
Spreading paint too thinly or unevenly
Over-thinning paint beyond the recommended amount
Failure to prime the surface before top-coating
Painting a porous or absorbent surface
Using incorrect or poor quality tools
Inadequately mixed paint

What is the solution?

Prime first, if moving from a significantly darker to a light colour
When painting in a dark colour, tint primer in a similar tone to the topcoat shade
Use premium quality paint for better hiding and flow
Use quality and correct tools for the job
Follow manufacturer’s recommendation for thinning
