What is the shelf life of KROMA paint?
We recommend that you do not buy more paint than you expect to use within two years. However unopened paint stored in its original packaging can last over a decade. The lifespan of KROMA paint once opened will be affected by your working habits and storage conditions. The main reason for storage problems of water-based paint is microorganisms growing in the paint. Microorganisms may be introduced into your jars of paint if you add water to the jar or if you dip wet brushes into the jar. The less exposure to air and contaminants the longer your paint will last. With good working habits you should have years of trouble free use.
