The Ford Barn

I recently purchase four aerosol spray cans of the early Ford green from Hirsch Auto. Today I decided to paint some water pumps I have for an '36 engine. I prepped and primed them and that went well, as I expected it would, but when I started painting the Hirsch green, I was surprised how diluted the paint was. It's similar to transparent paints I've sprayed. It's almost like they didn't add the correct amount of pigment. After 6 coats and it still not covering, I decided there is something wrong with the paint. Yes, I did shake it well... very well. I also tried the other cans and they are all them same.

Has anybody else experienced this with Hirsch spray paint? Or have you had good results?

Thanks!
