Sounds like your going on too thick mate. the flourescent colours need to be sprayed on very lightly to start with, I find using a little less ipa/water mix works fine with flour colours especially yellow as it is so light and needs lots of paint to make it nice and bright

I don't thin the flouro colours at all, they are thin enough.... also, cause they are semi-transparent, they don't look like they are covering well, you can hold the shell up to something white to see how deep the colour is.

Snap! as above.
I don't thin the flo's down either. I find one light coat to cover the area, then two 'reasonable' coats is enough.
