Is it possible the paint settled, and there's a layer of pigment on the bottom of the jar? I've had that happen before. Using a piece of styrene to help get it mixed in usually helps.
In regards to the label. The symbols used to denote danger have to be in a specific order. The one on the left is NOT "legal" as the diamonds have to form a diamond when put together like the one on the right.
I suspect the sample that looks darker and has poorer opacity contains less aluminum pigment. Adding more aluminum pigment would improve opacity and lighten the color, since this is color contains some dark pigment (probably black).
I'm going to contact Tru-Color and see what they say.@peteski - you are right, I did have issues with opacity with my prior bottle - I addressed that with a grey undercoat and got results I liked.Unfortunately, I damaged one of the models I painted, after decaling, and was trying to touch it up with the new bottle. the model now has several bright spots.
Here you can see the brighter new paint ...( on part of the roofwalk nd the brace from the roofwalk to the further rail) vs. the older paint.
