I was thinking about getting a wire coat hanger and bend it into a shape for

Not the best but free of charge and better than stirring by hand.
Or even just a long piece of dowelling and nail a paddle shape on the end.

I bought a 5 gallon container of primer since I'm going to be doing a

Do I find a big stick and stir a lot or is there a (cheap) mechanical
stirrer that will do a better job?

Geez...can't they homogenize these things?

In the same department, probably the same aisle, where you got that
big tub of pint, you'll find something similiar to this:

Actually, I use a coat hanger wire in a drill all the time and it
works great! Just bend the part that goes in the paint can in a zig-
zag shape with pliers. You just have to take a little time and care
to get it to spin relatively balanced on axis.

To clean off the wire, spin it at high speed in an empty paint can.
