What’s the shelf life of a can of paint?
Shelf life depends on a few factors. First is how well the can has been sealed. A completely sealed can of paint can last 2 years on the shelf. However, once the paint is opened, the shelf life decreases along with how long the can is left open and how well it is sealed after use. Additionally, the environment plays a factor. Hotter, more arid climates can dry out paint much faster than a colder, more humid area. In any case, if you want to use an older can of paint, make sure you stir it thoroughly and add a slight amount of water to it.
