Quick question, can paint go bad if stored for a long time?

I ask because I can get a helluva steal on some black paint for the notch, problem is that the guys had it sitting in his garage for 2-3 years.

He bought it but then sold his fox before he could paint it leaving it un-opened for a while.

Thanks in advance guys

is it a heated garage? if paint freezes repeatedly...it will go bad.

Its in a garage but its not heated, just sitting there, I live in California and the weather really never goes under 30 degrees.

Does that still mean it freezes?

RODRIGUEZ

Around what temperature does paint freeze up in? Anything below 20-30 degrees???

Thanks in advance

FivePointOhh

it says it on the paint can. depends on what base the paint is.

RODRIGUEZ

Its urethane base?

I know for sure its not waterbase...

FivePointOhh

urethane based paint freezing point is lower than 32* iirc

Well I went to the paint shop today and they said that shelf life is good for about a year, anything after that then the paint may go all bad....

So a no go on the 3 year old paint.

Thanks fivepointohhh
