Hi hope someone can help, ive painted this ceilng 5 times now with a roller after the mist coat - 3 times in same direction and 2 in the other but it still looks patchy. Using trade ultra matt paint and 12" roller with medium pile.

Hi spare_ribs88,
You’re probably rerollering a partly dried surface, apply a generous coat working in strips and always maintain a wet edge so you are not raising the surface of the paint from the previous strip.
