Hi dakota, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the paint was thick, difficult to work with, and it is now peeling. This is not normal, and I understand your disappointment. I recommend sanding the loose coating off, cleaning the surface, and touching up. The paint takes 30 days to cure and fully harden. It should also have a creamy consistency, typically, covering in two coats. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance; our customer care team is happy to help you! -Giovanna
