Hi LizBeth - Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the clots in the paint can, lack of coverage, and how the paint is drying too fast! Our Dynasty paint line should have a smooth and creamy consistency once it's been stirred for a few minutes before use, and will cover your previously painted or primed surfaces in one coat when tinted to a One-Coat Color. If stirring the paint doesn't break up the clots, I recommend continuing your project with a new can. Up to 4 oz. of water per gallon can also be added to your paint before you recoat which will help slow down the dry time. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly so we can assist you with this further. We hope to hear from you soon! - Sara
