Need Help with Tamiya Black

I just sprayed my 1st coat of TS-14 black. The paint was considerably thicker than previous Tamiya colors. Has anyone else experienced this?
I had a very difficult time in achieving a smooth finish. In fact I didn't succeed and will have to sand the surface before applying the 2nd coat. I heated the can in hot water for 10 minutes, shook it, etc.. Any similar experiences?

I just painted a PT Cruiser about 45 minutes ago with that! It gave me no problems but I'm gonna have to use some compound on it. I'll get a picture and post it in this response. Here's how it came out ...

I find it to be consistant with other TS colors I've sprayed, though more opaque.:confused:

That leads me to think I have a bad can.
