Right now im confused I bought some paint from wem somewhere about 12 tinlets and I've got a problem with just one.
I've thinned some of them with humbrol thinners but I'm having problems with wemcc km05 schiffsbodenfarbe III grau 1 I've been using the paint for about 6 weeks and it started off fine then about a week ago I noticed the paint had lumps in it with the consistency of jelly on the outside and sand like particles on the inside so I filtered it and it then sprayed fine but today it has now turned to a jelly like substance. The other paints I've used are fine and I've treated them exactly the same as km 05.
As you can see Confused I've used enamel paints for years and never had this problem

Not come across what you are describing before. Sounds like the paint has got a foreign body in it or has gon off in some way. I certainly would not continue to use it, might be worth dropping WEM a line about a replacement. As it could well be a fault in that batch run.

I have used WEM paint for many years and never had a problem so sure that you have just been unlucky with that one.
