Did you pour any thinner into the jars? That's the kiss of death for any paint.
Looks like the wrong thinner got in there. Time for a new bottle.
I daresay you might try a different brand of paint.
Even the cheap acrylic craft paint they sell at Wal-Mart would perform better than this.

I've had that happen with brand-new bottles of acrylic paint, too. I don't know if being bottled makes a difference. Perhaps, glass is more temperature sensitive than plastic. Who knows where its been or for how long before you purchase it at the store.
I've had great success with Vallejo acrylic paints, which come in plastic bottles. They produce 218 different colors, specially formulated to adhere to plastic models. And, no, I'm not a rep for the company. I stick with what works. Many hobby shops carry it.

I have been in manufacturing procurement for about 20 years, about half of that in chemicals, and glass very definitely makes a difference in that it is indeed more temperature sensitive (also drop sensitive & more light sensitive). Plastic has it's places, but has other issues as well (static buildup during filling process, lining chems used in manufacture can remain and leech into paint, etc.)
I also note that Vallejo even has a rack in my local Hobby Lobby, and you can get a coupon to offset the cost
Do you want Me to send You another bottle looks like the lid was loose on the Testors, I just got it in from Squadron.
As some of you know, I recently returned to the hobby after a five-year leave of absence. And, as astonishing as it may seem, the same Vallejo acrylic paint I was using then is still going strong. No adverse effects at all. It's been stored in a large plastic container in two different unconditioned basements in the Great Midwest, which experiences temperatures that range from extremely cold to extremely hot.
