Hello, thank you for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear your paint did not provide the coverage you expected. That is not the experience we want for our customers. Our Marquee Paint should cover in one coat when tinted to a One-Coat Color and applied over a previously coated surface. Colors outside the One-Coat Collection and bare surfaces may need additional coats for uniformity. To achieve uniformity, I recommend letting the paint dry for 24 hours before deciding if another coat is needed. The additional dry time may let the paint even out and will help with coverage if you'll be recoating the surface. In any case, your satisfaction is important to us, and we value your feedback. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance; our Customer Care team is happy to help! -Lina
