I too have experienced the same problem. I used the recommended techniques and have beautiful overlap marks on the wall. Directions say to overlap only 1/4" or less - like this is easy to do - all of my overlaps 1/2" - 1 1/2" show - the paint is beautiful in between the overlaps. Anynone have any ideas - I'm redoing one wall tonight and am attempting to paint with no overlap but don't see how this will help - will probably show lines of the paint underneat with no overlap. Will call Ralph Lauren hotline tomorrow.
