How many coats did it take before it wasn't streaky? We painted the dining room red this morning and I knew it would take more than one coat but was still a little surprised at how bad it looked. I probably should've used a primer. Can anyone enlighten me???

We used a dark red (about the color of dried blood) and it took about two coats....and we did not use a primer at all.

They can also tint your primer.
