Hello,

I have a problem with the opacity of my interior dispersion paint (from Brillux, Super Latex). The walls are made of drywall, which I primed once in white beforehand. After that, the dispersion paint was applied once undiluted with a roller. Unfortunately, this did not provide full coverage and the result is patchy in some places. Now I want to paint over it again with the same paint. My problem is that I can hardly tell where I have already painted because the shades no longer differ. What can I do if I do not want to change/tint the color.

Thanks & regards

The second coat should also be applied full coverage. Or am I misunderstanding the question? Wet paint looks different from dry paint, 2 coats are common.

Hello,

"Wet paint looks different from dry paint."
That is exactly my problem. It only differs marginally and only under certain lighting conditions.

Is there perhaps a trick with a light source?

But we are talking about a lit room, right? If I consider that you work wet-on-wet with a roller and manage to cover 10 sqm on an open area within 10 minutes with momentum, I don't see your problem. You work with rich paint and not stingy, also in two directions. And then in the imagined grid of, for example, two roller widths from left to right or vice versa. So: even if you don't see the boundaries, your brain should be able to remember where the roller has just passed over about 2.5 meters of room height in this short time?! Have you already started? Are you imagining this problem? Do you sometimes stop painting more often? Take a spotlight and direct grazing light onto the wall, that will surely help you.
