If you have a large paint job planned, then use at least a 5-gallon (19 l) bucket for this project. Thinning a large patch of latex paint will ensure consistent results! For quantities under 1 gallon, such as 1 pint, use a smaller bucket. For every gallon (3.7 l) of paint you plan to use, set aside 1/2 cup (118 ml) of water. The water should be at room temperature. Do not pour all of the water in at once, adding too much water will ruin the paint. Instead, pour it into the bucket in increments throughout the stirring process.  While you must thin latex paint with water, the amount of water you must add varies from brand to brand. Higher quality latex paint is thicker, therefore requiring more water; lower quality latex paint is thinner, therefore requiring less water. Most paint will require 1.6 cups of water per 1 gallon of latex paint. Instead of adding all of this water at once, however, it is better to begin by adding less water and gradually add more water as needed. Never add more than 4 cups of water per 1 gallon of latex paint.  If you are using pints of paint, add 2 tablespoons of water per 1 pint of latex paint. Use a paint stir stick to mix the paint thoroughly with the water. Move the stick in upward and downward spirals. Periodically pull the paint stick out and observe how the paint runs off the stick and into the bucket. If the paint is still clumpy or sticking to the paint stick, add a little bit more water. Repeat until the paint is a smooth, rich creamy texture.  Never add all of the water at once. Add it to the paint in small increments. Before adding more water, pull the paint stick out of the paint to see if it has become smooth or remains clumpy. Repeat as needed. Instead of stirring the paint, you can repeatedly pour the paint from one 5-gallon bucket to another 5-gallon bucket. Hold the funnel over the bucket of paint. Use a ladle or scoop to run the paint through a funnel. If it flows freely through your funnel, then it will also flow through your sprayer nozzle. If it does not flow freely through the funnel, slowly add more water until it achieves the correct consistency.
