Assuming you would like tips on how to get rid of excess spray paint:

Next, slowly pour the unused paint and thinner mix into a plastic bag. Once the bag is full, seal it tightly and place it in another bag. This is to ensure that the paint does not leak and cause environmental damage.label the bag with the type of paint and date it so you can keep track of how long it has been sitting.
After that, take the sealed bag to a hazardous waste disposal site. Do not try to throw it away in the regular trash! Not only is it illegal, but it is also damaging to the environment.
If the paint is still wet, you can pour it down the sink with some hot water to help it go down. If the paint is starting to dry, you can put it in a container with some kitty litter or sand to help it harden and then dispose of it in the trash.
