Best Answer

Different paints are mixed at different consistencies depending on how they are expected to be applied. Automotive paints are fairly thin since they are meant to be sprayed, while normal house paints are thicker so that they can easily be brushed or rolled. Usually, the data sheet for the individual paint will show the viscosity in Krebs units.
