Why can i see the paint roller marks on the wall?

The second coat cleared off 80% of marks from the first coating, but i still see some marks, especially along the outline of the wall where i used a paint edger to ';cut in';. will this go away as i put my 3rd then 4th coat on?


here is a pic of the situation

You're going to have to paint another coat obviously, but when you do, make sure you make long strokes with the roller, instead of short quick strokes. By making longer strokes it will spread out the paint evenly, if the strokes are short then most of the paint won't spread out as well.Why can i see the paint roller marks on the wall?
Yeah, it should go away after the third or fourth coating but this is because of the contrast between the lighter color of the wall and the dark paint you are using. Also, make sure it is completely dry than judge it.
When painting you put the paint on the wall in the shape of a W and roll the paint out from that to avoid lines. Don't keep going just up and down in rows.....go at an angle and spread the paint out smoothly
You may not be waiting long enough between coats. It may or may not go away after more coats. It may make it worse. Too many coats is not a good thing.
ya most of it but try not a cut up so high (some color) good luck.
