Too cold and so was the paint.....warm it up, (can hot) in running water, shake very well, pull back a bit and put on MIST coats.....realllllly thin, if its cold testors paints shoot thick and heavy....where I come from cold is 60 degrees! I decant most testors paints as they are a bear to get on in thin coats....love the paint. ..the nozzles suck Now the metalizers don't give me problems.....go figure!
