Stirring for 3 -4 mins. is preferred (especially heavy paints like primer) since shaking can introduce air bubbles which will have to be stirred away before you apply the paint to the surface you are painting, otherwise pots marks will appear and a second coat will be necessary to conceal the blemishes. Frequently, when asking someone at the paint counter to stir a couple of paint cans for you they will place all of them on a shaker machine to save themselves some time and trouble - insist on the centrifugal machines instead. Happy painting!
BTW - Use a halogen work light to identify problem areas before painting and during application of paint. I prefer to paint out of direct sunlight and use 1 or 2 halogen work lights for illumination and great results.

What kind of paint is it? Follow the manufacture's instructions; paint sellers usually have a product sheet that is really the instructions for mixing and using (spraying).

When is Stir up Sunday in 2008?
Stir-up Sunday used to be the 25th week after Trinity Sunday and hence was a moveable date tagged to Easter. The Church preferred this date be linked to Advent, and it is now set as the Sunday before Advent (as Advent is four Sundays before Christmas, it follows that Stir-up Sunday is the fifth Sunday before Christmas)Thus, Stir-up Sunday for 2008 is 23rd November. However, an awful lot of folk out there are using 30th November as the date of Stir-up Sunday.

How long can exterior latex last in a can?
Latex is a water-based paint so it will not store as long as oil based paints. Also it will be subject more by how you stored it. Freezing, and loose tops will effect the latex more than oil based paint. You can always open and stir it up and see what the condition it's in. Usually you can tell the conditions by looking at it after you stir it up if you are able to stir the paint much.
