I experimented a little more with the black paint and that does seem thinner already. Probably why it was flowing better to start with.
Is it ok to add 50-50 water with the paint or will that wash them out too much to start with?

Another problem I've found is possibly more specific to the Faskolor paints but I've ended up with the white sections turning grey/silver by the time I finished.
I generally paint dark to light, and then back everything with black once I'm done. In the past (rattle cans) that has worked out great and I was really impressed with how the white sections remained bright even with a black backing. This time however, I backed the white with silver and then with black but the end result is that the white has lost its colour and now just looks silver.
I think it was about 4 coats of white, 2 silver and 1 black but that clearly doesn't work. What do I need to do to keep the faskolor white paints looking white?
