Question:

We are painting our living room walls with a latex paint. The walls were previously painted with latex as well. We are using l semi smooth roller with a 10 mm pile. The problem we are having is that there are roller marks being left after the paint dries - what can we do to prevent this?

Answer:

It could be any of a number of reasons - depending on how long ago you painted the surface before, you may need to prepare it for the new paint with a primer, the paint you're using may be too thick for the surface, the rollers may have been made for a special paint, etc. Take one of the rollers back to where you bought the paint and ask because someone there will know for sure.
