Hi Apf1,
Thank you for your review, and we're sorry to hear you didn't receive the expected coverage. This paint typically covers in 1-2 coats. However, it isn't guaranteed to cover in one coat. If that's what you want, you may want to look into using our Marquee Paint; this is the only paint we offer that we guarantee a one-coat coverage when using a color from our One-Coat Collection. If you still need help with your project, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly; we'd be more than happy to help. -Edith
