Painting a wall without leaving marks

Will it be noticeable if I paint half a wall one day and the rest the next day? Or will there be a noticeable line?

"You will achieve the best outcome when you cut in and paint on the same day. It is recommended to cut in just one wall and then roll it out immediately. Doing this will yield the smoothest and most even results because the paint will blend well."

"Hi if its matt emulsion it's fine because it drys out the same .
For best results though put the very first coat on lightly,we call it a miss coat ,and then let it dry before adding a second coat ,again not to heavy but should virtually cover ,let this dry and then using a medium pile roller put last coat on fairley heavy and making sure you go over half of your last rollto make sure of coverage ,and that should give a good finish.
Kind regards Darren.

"Hi there, you might be lucky and get away with it, but you may get a dry line between the coats. Hope this helps.
