BC, i was thinking maybe you could help....
My RSX paint felt "soft" even after a week. I think it's a characteristic of the enamel type paints. As someone else pointed out, The Testors paint tends to be thick. If you were airbrushing, you'd thin it before spraying it, ut if you are using a spray can, obviously that option is out the window. I think the method of placing the can in a glass of warm water before you spray is a good idea, and might help a bit here.
