#91589, "Automotive paint: How long does it last?"


          

I know what you guys are thinking. I'm not talking about a factory automotive finish or something of that nature but rather the actual paint in a can that has yet to be used. I bought some paint (ppg) last summer and I have enough left over from the last time I sprayed my car to do it over again next summer. Will the paint still be good? Im assuming that as long as its in a sealed airtight container I've got nothing to worry about but it isnt like normal paint though; It has a lot of chemicals and junk in it. Do those break down over time and reduce the effectiveness of the paint? I searched yahoo and didnt discover anything "concrete". Thank you for your time.

yea, as long as its sealed well, you just need the stir the hell out of it, maybe add a touch of thinner and it should be good to go

I just wish my car was as fast as it was loud. people tell me i should use my sub to push it, it might go faster.
