Hi Dpardito - Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the paint was drippy and the coverage didn't turn out as expected! Our Ultra paint should have a creamy consistency once it's been stirred for a few minutes before use, and will typically cover in 1-2 coats. However, certain colors and porous/stained surfaces may require additional coats for full coverage. This product also includes a stain-blocking primer in its formula, so your first coat will seal porous/stained surfaces or previous colors, and any additional coats will build up the new color and uniform finish. To fix the finish, we recommend applying an additional coat. For further assistance with this, please feel free to reach out to us directly. We'd be happy to help. - Sara
