The box had been opened and taped shut on one end. All can were dented up but the hike clips were still on and the lids were secure. First can was fine, havn't opened the others yet. Used a drill mixer to make sure this was blended well. Paint is very thick compared to regular paint and goes on easily (be sure to prep the surface properly) Covered perfectly with 2 coats but did one more with a textured roller just to be sure. I used a brush for most of my project due to having a lot of corners and small spaces. Paint self levels a bit. DO NOT GO BACK OVER WET PAINT... IT WILL BUNCH UP. LET IT DRY AT LEAST AN HOUR. Sand any bumps, drips, and "high traffic"areas between coats. 70 degrees and 50% humidity, first coat dried solid in about 3 hours.... touchable in about an hour. 2nd coat wasn't totally dry for 4 hours but was also touchable in a little over an hour. Texture and color is consistent.
