Did you use FLAT paint? What version of SW paint? They have some low, middle, and high grade paint. Most of today's paints take up to 30 days to cure so they are very vulnerable to getting marked up if bumped or touched during that time. What kind of prep did you do on the walls? Did you sand? Did you remove the dust? Did you use any kind of cleaner that left a residue? All of these can affect the paint film in one way or another.I just painted a hallway with a SW light grey color. I notice that I now can see all finger and hand touches on the wall. When I use water to clean it you can see the towel marks. Is this because if the paint or because of the wall?
How long has it cured? Emerald is normally a pretty strong finish once it's cured. After a few weeks cure time you definitely shouldn't be seeing this.I sanded the wall twice and cleaned it with a water and mild soap. I used SW Emerald in satin. If you run clean fingers over the wall you can see the trail.

Most of the new formulations (and Emerald is one of them) take 30 days to cure and harden. These new paints stay "soft" for quite a while and that may be what you are experiencing. Of course without pics, we're taking shots in the dark here.It has been on over two weeks.
I left my "robber" gloves at the 7-11 last night when I stopped by to "pick up" some cash.Don't you people use robber gloves?
