I ended up having to thin the paint more than the Dulux guy recommended -he suggested I thin no more than 5% and I ended up adding somewhere around 10-15%. Also, you're probably doing this already but I think it's quite important to filter the paint - I just used one of the cheap filters that come in a 3 pack from Bunnings. I also mixed the paint extremely well just before spraying. Sounds like you have been through the same process I have. I went to Dulux Trade Centre 11 months ago, the guy their asked 6 different tradies if they had successfully used Aquanamel, 4 tradies laughed and said they wouldn't touch it, 1 said he used it as the customer insisted, but wouldn't use it given a choice. The last tradie said it took him and his 3 workmates 18 months to work out the best mix to roll and brush was; 1 capful of Latex Extender and 5-10% water in a 4 litre tin and the finish still isn't the best. Only alternative is to spray it like you have with more water than recommended. Funny part about spraying it is that even though the can says you can spray it, Bunnings told me you can't because it needs to be watered down too much and gave me a refund on the used spray gun I bought.
