What happens here

After the initial application, spread the paint out evenly by rolling up and down the wall. Crucially, always finish each section of paint application with a final downward stroke. This technique is especially important when using darker paint colors, as rolling both up and down as a final stroke can cause the paint to lay out differently, resulting in visible color variations or 'streaks' across the wall.

Goal: Achieve even paint coverage with a consistent direction

down. Load up my nap again. Put the nap in the middle of the wall. Go down, up, down. And I'm going to lay out my wall every time in the downward motion. So, I'm going to spread out my paint and then lay it out down. I'm always going to lay it down in that direction cuz if you're using really really dark colors, if you lay it out up and then down a a different section, you'll actually see a different color in the paint cuz it actually lays a tins out. So up, down, down again. A little bit wider now to the top and then lay it out.
