Need help with this Benjamin Moore Regal issue

[When You're 15]

How can I fix this BM BS? I should have stuck with Behr because that one has been reliable. I tried everything already to get a smooth finish on the Benjamin Moore Regal in satin/pearl finish.

It has bubbles. I did all the coating required. I'm pissed because I'm remaking my daughter's bedroom and I have been a contractor for years but this is the first time I got in this mess.

To avid BM fans... how do you have the patience? I mean how do you do it?

A couple things I'd check if I were in your shoes, first, make sure your roller nap is appropriate because one that is too thick can trap air, and also rolling too fast or overworking the paint can introduce bubbles. Not a BM fan though. If you've already tried everything and it's still a mess, maybe test a small patch with a different roller

Biggest issue I've found is how fast it sets up, you have to work it in small sections, feather quick, and for the love of all things holy, don't go back over it after a minute or so, coz it starts tacking up way too fast and traps air like crazy. I've had better luck with a microfiber roller over foam or poly doing some work for my cousin
But honestly yeah, I'm with you, behr's newer lines go on like butter compared to this drama, only reason I still use BM is when the client insists, other wise nah
