i have painted my downstairs loo walls four times and the paint is not covering. the base was a blue vinyl silk and i am putting on a cream vinyl silk. i have used roller,brush,roller and brush,but its still not covering

I would try a stain-blocking primer like Kilz before more cream - it should have been the first coat. My experience is painting over red, a hard color to cover.
