Can you use 10 year old paint?

Answer 1

As long as the paint is in a well sealed can, and has not been frozen or contaminated it should be alright. It will need shaking as the pigments tend to settle while it sits. Have the can shaken at your local paint retailer, then open it carefully. if there are no foul odours, masses of congealed matter of other problems, go ahead and use it.

Answer 2

If you need to touch-up the paint in a room of your home, you might not need to run out to the hardware store and buy a new gallon of paint. Many times, homeowners keep leftover paint in their garage but do not use the paint for touch-ups because they worry that the paint has gone bad. As long as the paint is not too old, it is probably fine to use. Most hardware stores will remix old paint for free. Test a small sample of the paint to make sure that it is still coating surfaces and drying correctly.

Answer 3

As long as everything in the can is mixable, you can use it. Don't use it if it's hard at the bottom.

Answer 4
