Use should use a tinted primer. A GRAY tinted primer, pink tint will turn your deep red into a pinkish red. This is what I had to do when I painted the accents on my house deep red. You can find gray tinted primer at your local paint store,Lowes, or Home Depot. Bher makes a good primer. It covers nicely with just one coat.Painting a white wall a deep shade of red?
DId you use a dark pink primer? THat's the colour of primer that must be used in order to get red paint to stay red. As well, using a primer helps to bind the paint to the walls.





If you're ever watched any of the DIY home improvement shows, you've seen pink primer used first in order to paint a wall red. Even then, though, it can take 2 or 3 coats for a red wall.
Paint vertical lines, then go over that with horizontal lines.
oh no , shouldve used primer . if i were you i would call home depot or lowes and ask them.
Since you've already started ... keep going! I'm not kidding. The paint can when I painted my white wall to be deep red said it could take ';5-7 layers.';


I used a tinted primer and STILL used 3 .... so just make sure you are using a rollar since it's the easiet choice and put on another layer!
IDK
The best thing to do is tint some primer red, then go back over the walls. This will add to your expense, but it sounds like you'll be spending more money to get it even anyway.
??????????
You should always start this sort of job with a primer. You would've saved a lot of paint/coats. I would consult your local paint store to see if they remommend starting over or if they know of a product that can be used retro-actively.
Reva P is right - starting with a deep pink primer or even a grey primer is the way to go.





One tip I can offer is NOT to use a thick nap roller. Try something less than 3/8”. Because red paint is so thin it tends to splatter, run and drip - the lower pile roller helps control this.





Red paint is very thin thin because the amount of pigment needed to get a true red color is huge. Red paints can be up to around 30% pigment and 70% base. It is the paint base which covers the pigment only adds the tint.





With so little base you could be looking at 5 coats in total. I have done it - it was hell. :)
