In general, you deal with thin paints by painting multiple layers... but of course usually that's on purpose (as opposed to having thin paints that you don't want).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495113/5084838.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495113/5084838.page GMT
Some paints have poorer coverage than others by nature of the pigment (type, quantity, or both) - yellows are especially notorious, but whites and reds are often problematic, as well. For these, you'll have to use multiple, thin coats to achieve a solid color. Undercoating with better covering paints in a similar color ("foundation/base/heavy" type paints are great for this) can help speed up the process, but it still comes down to painting layers, in the end.

The seeping and pooling is an issue with consistency. Have you given the paints a thorough stir, as well as shake? Shaking is all well and good, but without an agitator in the bottle, it's unlikely to redistribute much pigment if it has settled at the bottom of the bottle. It may be that your paints have partially separated, so you have too much medium in the stuff that comes out, resulting in thinner paint.

Granted, I have noticed that a few of my colors seem to behave a bit differently than the rest, both with VGC and GW paints. Whether that's an issue with the batch, age, or the formula, it's hard to say. At the very least, a thorough mix before starting can't hurt, and you can either learn to work around the consistency/behavior issue or replace it with a different brand's equivalent color.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495113/5085103.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495113/5085103.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495113/5085633.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495113/5085633.page GMT
Adding an agitator helps too. Any leftover greenstuff I have, I mold into little balls, let them cure and then pop a couple into the troublesome colours.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495113/5085963.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495113/5085963.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495113/5085982.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495113/5085982.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495113/5086037.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495113/5086037.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495113/5086046.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495113/5086046.page GMT
