humbrol paint watery and thin?


Recommended Posts

went to use my humbrols to paint my new bucket and notices that its quite watery and doesnt want to stick to anything, i shook it up and stirred for a minute, they are about a year old  do i just need to give it more of a shake or get some new paints?

Humbrol better for airbrush, testors better coverage with a paintbrush.  I prefer one thick coat when using a paintbrush, just try to work fast,  paint will self level uniformally for a perfect smooth finish, less strokes the better, the many years of model building/painting experience paid off :)

I always use Humbrol paints on my helmet builds and never have to use two coats. You just have to stir it up properly. If you find yourself using two or more coats of paint, it is probably an old tin. Buy another one, they are only cheap.
