Hi upset, thank you for your review, and I am sorry to hear you got brush marks and uneven sheen, especially after applying it three times. This paint typically covers in 1-2 coats, but can take more if it's a drastic color change. To get a uniform finish, we recommend applying a fresh coat while maintaining a wet edge. Also, make sure to work in small sections. To help with this, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly; we'd love the opportunity to make things right. -Edith
