Decanting Paint

The main purpose is to gain better control over the flow and a good side effect is less over spray thus getting the paint to last longer.

Use a thick drinking straw about the size of the nozzle, cut it to get a shorter bit.

Put the straw over the nozzle, hold the end down a suiteable container and spray away. The paint you get out in the container needs to gas out for a while before you put on a lid. I usually use a film container with a little hole in the lid and leaves it over night to gas out properly before putting on a whole lid.

Now you you can use it as is in your airbrush or maybe thin i a little more, normally not neccesary it's fine as is.

Good luck!

I agree with the way explained, I like to add the following tip.

After decanting the paint will keep some amount of the gas and pressure, this will make difficult to deal with. With Tamiya TS paints I use to add little amount of lacquer thinner, which will do  the paint stable letting you shake...etc.
