I use Trucolor primarily on brass that has been first abrasive blasted with and no primer.  As long as I use Trucolor thinner (actually Star brand- it's cheaper) there has been excellent adherence. 

It could bea problem not associated with the paint (incorrect nozzle size, bent needle,spray distance and/or air pressure).

What are you painting? TruColor/Accupaint/Star paints (same formulation)will adhere beautifully to clean polystyrene. If you're painting brass, metal,or polyurethane resin, you'll need to prime first

In using other than Trucolor thinner I have not gotten good adherence.  I asked Trucolor about this and was told their thinner was a mix compatible with their paint (which is not actually a paint(?))

TruColor, like Accupaint, comes in plastic bottles that are not 100%airtight. It evaporates. The good news is that adding back the thinner and a coupleof drops of the retarder will restore the paint
