Vallejo make both a Game Color and a Game Air. As you haven't mentioned the need to thin the paint, I'm assuming here it's the Game Air line you got?

I've found the 'Air' colours that Vallejo do can vary in consistency a bit, though I've never had problems with any coming out much too wet. It sounds like maybe there's been some separation going on in the bottle and it might not be properly mixed or something.

If you haven't tried it already, it may be worth popping an agitator in the bottle and giving it a really good shake, or trying to get a cocktail stick or some other implement in the bottle and giving it a good mix (the tip of the bottle will just pull out for you to be able to get in there).

I've never had to thicken a paint up, so if they are genuinely really watery, I don't know what else to suggest.


If on the off chance you are talking about Game Color and you are thinning them, then the suggestion here would be to add less thinner and see how you get on.

Let us know how it goes!

Regards
