Shaken, not stirred...I use the "swirl" method to mix a can of paint. Once the ball is moving, i give it about 60 to 90 seconds more. I worry that shaking may introduce some air bubbles into the paint. When i buy house paint, the stores open the can after they have shaken it to check the color, and there are always bubbles on top. I know that the pickup tube is on the bottom of the can, and any bubbles should rise above it, but i just feel better with "swirled not shaken". Just what works for me.
