Dried Touch Up Paint

[Hulk311]

I bought some touch up paint last year from the dealer to fix a scratch on the bumper of my car. The jar that it`s in is very tiny. Anyways, this year I used a clay bar and it took the touch up paint right off! I went to reapply the touch up paint but the little jar it`s in is dried up! I can`t even get the touch up paint onto a brush. What`s the best way to heat it up? I`d hate to put it in the microwave or oven and have it stink up the place. Should I just buy another jar of the touch up paint?

+1 with Ronkh above...

All the thinner, reducer, or whatever is mixed with the paint to thin it out has dried up...

If its touch up paint, it usually is lacquer based, so a lacquer thinner might work, but it might not work too..

Unless its in a real glass bottle, it usually cant survive for years before going bad..
