Hello, what can we do about the appearance shown in the picture? We applied a thick base coat of gypsum plaster with Pufas Grundierweis GP5. The finishing coat with Herbol RF was also applied thickly. The picture even shows a double finishing coat. Application was done with a roller. Does it need to be applied differently?
Narrow, white corridor with three recessed ceiling lights, window at the end and open access below.

It is hard to see in the picture, but it is clearly visible in person.

Don’t worry any further about the wall. If the window is only cleaned once a year, two months later everyone will only be looking at the window anyway... Light exposure plus a dirty window... that makes the wall next to it look good.

That should have been properly filled and sanded multiple times. No paint can fix that anymore.

The window should have been fitted with a motorized opener or replaced with fixed glass. Using a tilt-and-turn window handle is already quite a feat.

We also have a few walls that appear uneven due to unfavorable sunlight exposure. In hindsight, I'm glad we accepted it that way because a small dent can easily be caused by a piece of furniture or something else. Then it becomes even more frustrating.
I'm curious about the lost spotlight up there. Does any light reach the area below at all?
