Hello, thank your review. I'm very sorry to hear about your poor experience with our Marquee Paint. That is not the performance we expect of our products, and I can understand your disappointment. Our Marquee Paint should have an even and smooth consistency and will cover in one coat when tinted to a One-Coat Color and applied over a previously coated surface. To fix the texture, I recommend stirring the paint for about 5 minutes. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we want to help turn this around. Please reach out to us directly so we can learn more about your project and assist. We look forward to hearing from you! -Lina
