When stored properly, an unopened can of latex or oil based paint, should have a shelf life of 2 years. The best storage for paint is in a cool, dry area, away from extreme hot and cold temperatures. Paint should never be allowed to freeze, and should be stored away from furnaces and other heat generating appliances.
