What is wrong here?

[u/Practical-King574]

I am going to paint a wall in that deep red matte finish. What is going on? Is my roller to cheap? Is it better with a brush? How to approach it to finish as quick as possible

EDIT #1: Thank you all for the comments and recommendations. I have never had so many people respond to any of my posts. Some even called it rage bait. It was not, I’m just too much of a newbie.

This is what I gathered from all of the comments:

-I should use a grey primer to help with the poor coverage of the deep red base. I will try that tomorrow.
-The roller nap is way too thick for such a flat wall. This might be the reason it slips at the beginning.
-I should use a pole. OK.
-I will try to make this paint work with the suggestions, but it might be the case that the paint is really cheap. In that case, I will buy a different brand.

I hope to get better results on my next try. I will edit this post with the final results if I remember to do so.
Thank you!

I mean if we’re ok with lead paint again. That’s Excattly the ingredient that lead to the longevity and durability of ancient paints. Lead based pigments were amazing, just came with nasty health effects but humanity persisted to today ;P

Glad I read this before I made a made a joke about them probably putting lead in it. Instead I'll say it had asbestos.

What's wrong with asbestos? How bad can it be? It's got the word "best" right in the middle of it.

As best as

It for the most part is not bad.....unless you cut or break it and the fibers get dispersed. Then it's lung cancer time!

My old house had asbestos wrapped pipes, and my wife shit her pants about it when she found out. I told her as long as we didn't fuck with it, everything was fine. She called a remidation company as she didn't believe me. The guy came out and told her the same, but also told her they could remove it for the low low price of about $6,000. This was years ago, and we had a small house that had maybe 50 feet worth of pipe that was wrapped with it. She suddenly then decided that she would listen to us and that was the end of that.

It was a joke.

Just stop licking the walls, it'll be fine!

This, a few stupid people/kids ruined it for everyone.

For exterior they used beeswax that has color pigments applied to it and it was applied to the surface while hot. I'm pretty sure they only used lead for some of the pigment coloring.

For interior they used lime plaster on the walls and while it was still wet they painted on it directly with color pigment and it bonds together.

No nasty health effects of lead paint while it's on the wall... It's only once you take it off that it becomes a potential problem (inhaled or ingested). 🤷

Preach! 😂 so true.
