Did you thoroughly shake/agitate the color and strain into the cup?

 

Were you mixing it with a catalyst or harder? If so your harder is bad.

 

yep tried 2 differant quarts and reducer cans does not take hardener double strained it shook on machine

 

That's called "seedy paint" === Old and pigment broke down. Throw it out

 

I got a bad batch from the dealer last year . was very thick stringy. Was sitting on shelf too long. Get a new can of paint and stir or shake well before using. I used John deeres Valspar hardner with slow acylic enamel reducer with great results.Make sure paint and hardner are fresh batches.

 

My friend that worked for deere tried 3 cans before he actually got a good one. they had been sitting on the shelf for a long time farmers around here dont normally paint anything unless its in aerosol cans.
