Old Paint
No, not the horse.
I've got some paint that I've had for a few years - let's call it 5. It's been stored in a cabinet in the garage so I don't anticipate it ever saw temps below 40 or above 100.
It's DuPont Centauri acrylic enamel #99A, Pitch Black.
Does paint just go "bad" by sitting or should this be OK to shoot my firewall with?
On a related note, the paint shop I bought this from - which is now long gone - sold me the black paint, some reducer, and some Mar-Hyde hardener. The directions on the Centauri and the directions on the Mar-Hyde disagree on what proportions things should be mixed in; if the paint is still usable, how should it be mixed?
Also on a related note, I don't know where in that cabinet the reducer is. Assuming the paint can still be used, does it matter what brand reducer I use? There's an SW autopaint store not too far off from here that I could get some from if any brand works.
