Paintable wallpaper - patchy?

Options
We recently put up some super fresco paintable wallpaper and painted it with Dulux magnolia. All was well until it dried and it looks awful. Really patchy. It has had 3 coats now but still mega patchy. Is there anything anyone can suggest to help? I do not know why it looks patchy. We used a roller on the walls. Is this normal? Should it have a 4th coat?

  • Daft question maybe but did you stir the paint very well ?
    ...and did you roller in all directions ?
    Is the paint new and not maybe a used tub, forgotten about down the shed for a while ?

    Do people who keep giraffes have high overheads ?
