Thanks for the replies.
I had a large area to cover with the color and I knew that, inevitably, I had would have to use most or all of what was in the bottle, it's only a half ounce bottle. What I dumped back in was what was left in my airbrush bottle after the last coat, the paint bottle itself was pretty much empty.
The airbrush idea is out simply because I'm out of air, it's just a Kustom Kolor airbrush kit I got from Walmart for $30.00, and I don't want to spend another twenty for a bottle of propellant that I won't even use a quarter of.
I hadn't even thought of letting it dry out a bit, my thinking was that paint had two states dry and wet, when I was trying to figure out what to do. My one track mind I guess.
