really thin touch up paint

i did my searches on touch up paint but i couldnt find anything that answered my question. i have white diamond pearl which i think is color code 603w and when i purchased my touch up paint from the dealer (i heard its the best color match) i received the paintpenbrush combo in a single bottle. i didnt open it for a week until today i decided to wash my car and it was really really milky. my friedn showed me his subaru touch up paint and it was very thick. when i say milky i mean it looked like skim milk and it woudlnt blob as well as my friends paint did. is this how its supposed to be or should i get it xchanged

Check the bottle, it may need to be shaken or stirred depending on size.
In auto paint booths- they have cans with electric stirrers in them that run all day
just keeping paint mixed and ready

There is nothing wrong with your paint. WDP comes looking almost transparent. What you need to do is get a bottle of Honda frost white and paint your chip that color first. Then go over it with the pearl. This will give the frost white a WDP look otherwise the WDP will not cover the spot by itself.

Err should read down, 1osunut answered correctly


WDP is very transparent due to it being a tri coat paint. I would first really shake it up. Its possible that its supposed to be a 2 coat touch system as well. It sounds like you cot a pearl pen, which will be very transparent and thin.?
