I have some Colortime paint which I bought at Walmart.
I have about 2 of 5 gallons left after 3 weeks.
I noticed that the paint is turning it a cheezy consistency. Is there
something I can do to make the paint's consistency better?
Orginally, I added some paint thinner, but that did not seem to make a
big difference. I added a bit of acetone, which seems to help. Maybe
the more volitile liquids were evaporating off in the 100 degree days
here.


Obviously this is latex paint. And obviously, there is something very
wrong with the batch you bought.


??? No, there was nothing wrong with it. The OP added paint thinner (for oil
base paint only) and then acetone (paint remover) to latex paint. It was
user error that caused the problem. Why should WalMart have to make good on
it?
