So I decided to paint my bedroom. I went to home depot and picked out a color I liked. It is one of Behr's Disney Colors. It's called Pooh's Kite.
It's supposed to be this color:
I talked to the girl working in the paint department and she pointed out the Behr Premium Plus Eggshell finish. She never mentioned using tinted primer and when I asked if it would be okay to use on just the old white walls she said that yes it should be fine.
After two coats of paint it looks like this:
It's blotchy and not even close to the right color. Fortunately I have only done 1 wall so far.
What can I do? (with a very limited budget)
A) Finish this wall by applying coat after coat until it is dark enough. And then buy tinted primer to use on the other walls before painting.
B) Put the tinted primer over the ugly wall and then paint over it again.
C) Scrap this paint entirely and get a different brand in this color. Would I still need tinted primer with another brand?
D) Do you have any other suggestions
