Decanting spray for brush painting

[bbowser]

So just the opposite of the usual use of decanting, I'm looking to thicken decanted spray for brush work.  Mostly to touch up after assembly.  I have done it in the past by decanting some paint and then just waiting for it to thicken (basically dry out) to a consistency to brush but it seems a bit haphazard.  Any other suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

Find the same/similar color in a bottle. Lot easier. It's nearly impossible to obtain the same consistency of brushable paint from decanted rattle can contents.

That's the way I've always done it, and it works for me. I only spray out a little, and it only takes a few minutes to reach brushable status. Repeat as necessary.

I have done it that way myself. Spray a little in a rattle can cap, let it sit until the desired consistency. May take a couple coats.
