| 1193289 | 2011-04-28 21:58:00 | Well, it is now a week since I did the painting, and it seems to have survived through wind, rain and cold, so I'm optimistic that it is all going to be OK. Maybe I should report back in another 10 years to see if the paint in the bucket is still OK. | Tony (4941) | ||

| 1193291 | 2011-04-29 00:50:00 | Not a problem - I took it in the spirit it was intended. It is just the sort of thing I might have written under the same circumstances. | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1193292 | 2011-04-29 01:43:00 | Can any housepainters out there help me? I've been told that acrylic exterior paint only has a container life of about a couple of years, after which it is no longer useable (for what reason I don't know). Is this urban myth, or are there hard facts to support it? LOL, did a shop tell you that?....my Dads a painter and has heaps of old paint he doesnt throw out from old jobs....in fact Im storing quite a bit of it.... So answer is, its a myth! |

So answer is, its a myth!No, I was told by a professional housepainter. I also found several references to a life of 4-5 years while searching the web, on sites that at least looked reasonably authoritative. I think it does have a lot to do with the conditions under which it is stored. |

| 1193294 | 2011-04-29 02:39:00 | Not a total myth. I have some old acrylic paint that has gone like cottage cheese, you can't improve it by stirring. | PaulD (232) | ||
