Hi Jack, thank you for your review, and I am sorry to hear about the coverage. This paint typically takes 1-2 coats for full coverage, and it may take more than that for drastic color changes. However, I am glad you reached out to us to help. Keep in mind that the check doesn't take that long to process, but it can take that long to receive as it's sent by mail. You may receive it sooner than that. Either way, if you're unsatisfied with our offer to you, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly again; we can see what else we can do to help out. -Edith
