We recently had some remodeling done and the walls were all freshly painted with Behr Premium Plus Ultra Matte paint. A lot of the walls got marked up from the workers still coming in and out, so I used the EXACT paint, from the SAME container that was used to paint the walls. First

First I used the same roller that was used to initially paint the walls. Every area I touched up has more of a sheen to it!!! It's not noticeable when looking at it head on, but when you look from the side or in certain lighting, it's very noticeable. Then

Then I tried using the "dry brushing technique" and this made it even more shiny. Am I going to have to TOTALLY repaint every wall that I touched up? I'm so frustrated over this. Home Depot was at a loss. Thanks for your help!!!

Why do I have shiny patches where I touched up paint on my walls?
