Guys, how do you decant paint in spray to the bottle? As I recall, years ago Drewe was describing it on the MUG... I have Tamiya gray primer addiction  Howevert rattle can is not good enough for fine work on small kits, hence my question. |

While I haven't done this much I have simply sprayed paint through a straw, if that, into a plastic box. I've heard you should let it "breathe" before spraying it, but it certainly wasn't a problem when I put it in my airbrush. But then mine have been acrylic.

Hey, what was Bill's real name again? I just thought about him the other day. Something about Olive Drab reminded me of his numerous paint chips.

I still have a jar of Olive Drab Bill sent me all those years ago. Not sure if I should use it or just keep it as is.
A friend and I were decanting some Tamiya spray cans. Just used a pipette on the nozzle and sprayed in a jar. The stuff was really bubbly and the jar was quite cold to the touch, so I think some degassing is in order.
