OEM touch up paint... did I get bad bottle or does it just suck?

So last week I stopped at the dealer and grabbed a bottle of touch up paint, dont know the exact name but its a metallic silver, CHNH623M.

Just tried to use it, and holy **** is it ever watery, it doesnt cover at all. Shook it up some more untill my arm got tired but didnt make a difference.

As I write this, I've got currently 3 coats on a magazine cover, and although its silvery, I can still see the image behind the paint.

Did I get a bad batch? Or is this normal behavior?

Sounds like you might have a bad batch. The touch up paint I have used covered well
