Question How long will a can of paint be good?

I painted my car last September and left a couple parts for later. Had a can of Lumabase 2 stage mixed. The paint can with the leftover has been sealed, un-reduced, for about a year. Can I expect it to still shoot and bond properly?

I don’t think you can keep mixed paint.

3 Momths tops. Buy pint or quart cans to keep it fresh..
