when decanting paint to another container to put thru a spray gun, I read somewhere that you have to let the paint "gas out" before using it, is this true?

It's a good idea to wait at least an hour for the propellant to escape the new container. I've read that stirring the paint gently after putting it in the new container will help the gas get out a bit quicker. I've also read that if you airbrush too soon, it won't spray good, at all. I've not tried any of this, and found this info thru our good friend GOOGLE!!

Depends how old the can of paint is. I've decanted old duplocolor that hasn't any gas in it to spray. I just use automotive reducers to thin it out to airbrush. But if it's a new paint you can just use a straw from the paint nozzle into the airbrush bottle and use it directly without thinning. But if your going to empty a new can into another container I wouldn't worry about letting it gas out because it will anyway.
