I'm just using, for the first time, some Berger acrylic gloss white interior/exterior and it's the most watery paint I've EVER used. Grrrrrr :(

Did you stir the whole tin first? Water rises to the top and pigments settle on the bottom if left undisturbed for long enough.

Are you sure you've stirred it properly? If you're not happy with it, take it back and get something else. Something like Aquanamel is always thick. However white never covers as well as a tint.

Yes, the tin was first shaken, then given a lengthy stir with a paint paddle. Also, I was painting a vertical surface and the paint dribbled down the surface. This was also a first with a paint and I've done a lot of painting in my time. Surface had two coats of primer/sealer/undercoat prior.

30 minutes with a power stirrer, its seperated and could be old stock.

When I have used cheap paint that is thin I leave the lid off the paint for two or three weeks and It evaporates somewhat and is then thicker.

Why don’t they state viscosity you ask?
Simple. Because 90% of consumers would have no idea what it meant.
You can usually judge it fairly well by simply inverting can and giving it a shake.
