I am having a terrible time with this paint. It wont stay mixed. I have tried alcohol, and also the testor thinner, and after about 3-45 seconds, the thinner all settles to the bottom. The paint is also very sticky. Could i have a defective bottle of paint?
Could be contaminated, old (pigments and their associated solvents will degrade over time), or a processing problem at Testors with that particular lot. Save yourself the headaches, and plunk down a couple bucks for a new bottle…but don’t purchase it at the same location as your current bottle. If it’s a problem with particular lot, you’ll be stuck again.

You didn’t say wether the paint was acrylic or enamel. If it’s enamel, try adding a few drops of laquer thinner to the bottle. I’ve never used acrylics before so I wouldn’t know what to do about a problem with that kind of paint.

No Ray, it is acrylic, which you can thin with water, alky, or Testors name thinner…none of it worked.
