To rehydrate dried paint, remove any crust or hardened top layer and stir the paint for about five minutes to form a uniform mixture. Add small amounts of an appropriate solvent and continue mixing until all the paint dissolves and you have a uniform paint mixture. Oil-based paints are generally applied to coat walls, wood panels, or metal surfaces that need a glossy finish. To restore dried-out oil paint, place the can of old dried paint in a pot of warm water for about an hour until the paint starts to soften. Once acrylics dry, they cannot be rehydrated or reactivated.
When mixing acrylic or latex paint, add water with a water-based paint flow improver or fluid medium for your specific paint. Mix the mixture until it becomes uniform. Place the open paint can on a plastic sheet to protect your work surface from paint stains. Pour 1 oz. of paint thinner into the paint can, using more or less depending on the amount of paint in the can. The optimal approach to rehydrating acrylic paint involves lightly misting the dried paint with water and then mixing it using a palette knife.

Spray white spirit onto any parts that don’t seem to be drying, as this should provide the solvent it requires to dry the oil-based paint.

I had a pot with a lump of blue rotten acrylic paint. I poured the stinky water out, scrapped the globby bulk in a blender, added some acryl binder, a bit retarder, a few drops of ammonia, and a little bit of acrylic medium in it, shook it for a couple of minutes in that blender and voila…the 30-year-old paint was like new.
