I unknowingly bought silk paint and after painted the wall twice it turned out all patchy and horrible. I do not want to see silk paint ever again! How can I fix this? Can I paint matt over or is there anything I should be aware before painting with matt? I am putting the house on the market and need to get this sorted asap. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Patchy and horrible?

How did you clean and prepare the wall before painting?

What was on the wall before?

How did you apply the paint?

How long did you stir it?

Is it in a kitchen?
 
I cleaned the wall with sugar soap and the wall was painted with matt cream color. The paint was applied with the roller and the wall is in the lounge. I applied two coats and after the fist coat dried it looked okay but after the 2nd coat dried the patching appeared.

patchy colour or patchy texture?

Was there wallpaper before?
