Ever found a color in a can you wanted to use in a jar or airbrush?

Today's topic will be transferring paint from cans to jars. Believe it or not there is a process to doing this to get better results. Typically, when transferring paint from can to jar for brushing purposes, the paint is too thin to brush on and even airbrush. The secret? Decant your paint just like you would wine. When you spray paint into something, it usually ends up being the cap from the can, which is fine. It has a wide bottom and top to keep your paint shallow and for good gas and air exchange. DO NOT transfer the freshly sprayed paint into a bottle just yet. Leave it sit in that cap for about 1 hour for airbrushing and 2-6 hours for brushing depending on how much is in the cap. Slosh or wiggle it around every 20-30 min. to get the paint on the bottom, on top for more gas exchange. Some paints need to be left for longer than 6 hours, sometimes overnight. Eventually your paint will thicken up. If it ends up too thick, you know what to do.
