Should I add more coats of red paint or prime and start again?

I recently painted a white wall with red paint without priming it (stupid idea). Now, after three coats of red, the wall looks mottled and uneven, and you can see the rollermarks and brushstrokes everywhere. Should I prime the wall with a gray primer and start again, or will more coats of red eventually work?
