I've only have done this three times, I let it set for about 2 hours before using may have been overkill.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Just saw this and sorry I didn't respond sooner. I never have to thin anything from the can...ever. It comes ready to spray but the only problem with rattle cans is the obvious.....control. Through dispensing and shooting through an airbrush I get ultimate control and satisfactory results every time. The only time I can think of that I wouldn't is if the paint itself was crap.
As far as the degassing period is concerned....usually about 5 minutes will do. The absolute worst paint/ coating that I've seen as far as bubbling goes is Testors Wet Look Clear which, when dispensed (or sprayed for that matter) has more bubbles than a glass of 7-Up or Sprite!!!

Within 5 minutes it's all gone and ready to shoot though
