What they say

Let me give you one disclaimer, any water-based paint, right? If you put all the basic paint in here, it won't mix. Bad news, bad news. So, now again, but it takes about three minutes to mix it up, right? You put the paint in, mix for a minute, put the thickener in, mix for another minute, and then you didn't let it set for about 30 minutes, just to body up, and then you can park it out. And then it's going to caulk out, and it's going to dry to the exact color of that beauty.
