My experience is that if a bottle of Tamiya paint gets old (as in several years), it sometimes gets grainy, and if so, brush-painting with it gets very difficult because your brush will keep lifting up semi-dried paint you just put down.Tamiya pints, at least those I've used, have their (minor) faults but I've not seen them described as grainy before.
