It is almost like the roller pulls the paint back off the wall, or the molecules in the paint pull together and leave spots. I am now on my third coat, painting taupe over primed walls.

I am beginning to think I might need another brand to do the living room, this is horrible performance from a $25.00+ per gallon paint.

Thanks.
Sir, I'm not a professional, but I've seen the same thing. Thinning the paint with a little water (go easy--it doesn't take much) will take care of the bare spots. You may need a couple coats on areas done with the thinned paint to get them to match the areas done with the full-strength paint.

BTW, if ever someone offers you money to paint a popcorn ceiling, smile and back away slowly.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.
