Do you have a kitchen blender?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			I must admit to having reactivated some very old military paint by adding the proper thinner/reducer and mixing like hell.  Yup I've even used a blender.  While I have never painted a vehicle with it I have done touch up and new parts with pretty good results.  The blender works really good on turning that lump of flattening compound into use-able compound again. 
 
Obviously what you are looking to do is restore the proper viscosity and to strain out any lumps. 
 
Cheers
