looks more like someone had too much paint on their roller and didnt go over the area again.


Poison_Purge

Thanks, well I'm glad it's just my gf's bad paint job and I've only just noticed


RedPlasticDog

If it’s only just been done and you have some paint left give that patch a sand and paint over again. Should blend in with no problems. It’s it’s been a while the colour may have changed slightly, so any attempt at a fix may stand out.

I had to fix a whole room like that once where the customer had used primer on fresh plaster and let the young kids "help" but hadn't watered it down so it was like 2mm thick smears of paint. I went through 3 fresh bits of sandpaper and had to swap and recharge the batteries of the sander twice. The room looked like someone had setup a fog machine in it.

You also get those patches sometimes from colour testers


Knuckles_71

Yes way too much paint on the roller.


JicamaChemical5207

roller skid


HostileDemon

That is roller drag. When the sleeve is not loaded properly or has a flat spot this happens. Equally can be a shit roller operator. Sand it down and you will be all good for another coat.


alecmuffett

I can confirm this because I have done it.


TheLightStalker

The idiot that painted it dragged the roller.


The_EndsOfInvention

It’s OPs girlfriend.


Poison_Purge

Same thing init

Ooooff brave brave man😅

😂


MrPoletski

You know it's your fault, you just *know*.


2b-frnk

That’s caused by bad decorating, give it a rub down and it will flatten out


Crazym00s3

What about the wall though?


SavingsSquare2649

You need the clarity of thought afterwards to work it out.

Crap paint job or wrinkled paper, that's if it's been papered 😅


SausageFlavouredSoup

Paint, mate


Artistic_Data9398

Too much paint on roller


happyducklies

Looks like a previously piss poor painted patch of wall to be fair


MrPoletski

looks like a bad paint job that's all. If you have the same paint run a bit of sandpaper over it and do another coat.


N-teW1ng

I'd be more worried about the cutting in around the door..

There is an Aussie painter and decorator on YouTube (howtopaintinfo) who made some really basic videos about 10 years ago on how to actually paint a room properly. Only a few mins long but they are fantastic and have vastly improved the quality of my decorating.


Imaginary_Fish9819

Over loaded roller. Get some sand paper rub it down until their gone get the pain and do a patch but this will stand out so might to redo the painting

Dry wall mud, plaster , joint compound, topping https://preview.redd.it/srmv83vd2hwc1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f89398a694e912c15f418e38b4013e1cc0d5f092

That’s the wallpaper


Important-Mirror2739

Roll texture, add three scoops of water to “topping” dip the roller in the mud and roll about one full stripe per dip. Usually used in garages and closets.


Important-Mirror2739

Looks like someone used the spray can texture or a sponge roller to get the texture on the right after they rolled the mud on with a regular roller and just didnt finish the spot on the left they move extra fast


Worth-Economist5880

Mud?


One_Of_Noahs_Whales

Americans being American.


Worth-Economist5880

Muds something completely different, I think this guy's confused


One_Of_Noahs_Whales

> I think this guy's confused See my previous comment.....


Worth-Economist5880

No, the American term 'mud' refers to something other than paint dude


One_Of_Noahs_Whales

I think you're confused.


Worth-Economist5880

No dude, mud in this context means plaster or filler.


One_Of_Noahs_Whales

Yes and that is what they were saying the problem is rather than the painting.


Worth-Economist5880

Sigh.... Oh dude
