• Uneven coverage
• Paint streaks are mostly caused by uneven
  coverage. This usually happens when you load
  different amounts of paint onto your brush or
  roller every time you apply a coat. Try to pick
  up approximately the same amount of paint each
  time you dip your tool into the paint.
  Consistency is very important. Avoiding those
  annoying streaks and even coverage can be
  achieved by applying the same quantity of paint
  to the surface with each stroke.

• Applying too much paint
• For a neat and uniform finish, you must carefully
  consider how much paint you use on your walls.
  Excessive application may result in dripping,
  running, and sagging, creating an uneven finish.
  The secret is to not overwork your paintbrush or
  paint roller. Instead, use just enough paint to
  coat it evenly. Before applying the paint to your
  wall, dip your paintbrush or roller into the
  paint and let any excess paint drip into the
  paint can or paint tray. With this easy technique
  of ensuring that the proper amount of paint is
  applied you can avoid streaks on your wall. A
  more appealing and long-lasting finish is always
  achieved by applying several thin coats.

• Poorly prepared walls
• The way your paint job turns out depends largely
  on the condition of the surface you are painting.
  Inadequate wall preparation can cause the paint
  to stick poorly, resulting in unsightly streaks
  and inconsistencies. Before painting, take care
  of all the damages, such as holes and dents. For
  a smooth and even surface, use an appropriate
  patching compound to fix and patch the flaws.
  Ensuring your walls are clean before painting is
  very important. In order to avoid paint adhesion
  issues, we advise thoroughly cleaning your walls
  to get rid of grease, dirt, dust, and oil.

• Using proper technique Using the right technique
  is essential to getting a flawless paint job that
  is free of streaks. When you apply paint with a
  roller, begin by creating a W-shaped pattern on
  the wall, and then fill it in with horizontal
  strokes. This method helps to prevent streaks by
  ensuring even coverage and getting rid of any
  extra paint on the roller. For uniform coverage,
  hold your brush at an angle and make long, fluid
  strokes in one direction. Retouching previously
  painted areas can introduce brush marks and
  undesirable streaks, so avoid doing so. Always
  remember to check your work in various lighting
  conditions and angles to detect any possible
  flaws or streaks.
