Preserve your paint over long periods of time with correct storage

Dear Glenn: We're painting in the next two to three months. I'd like to buy the eight gallons we'll need at the store within the next few weeks. I will not be near this store at the time of painting. How long is paint good for? Thanks for your help.

Peter, via e-mail

Dear Peter: According to the people at Shelby Paint and Decorating, (586) 739-0240, www.shelbypaint.com, in Shelby Township, if the paint is stored correctly, it can last up to 10 years. Stored correctly means, don't let it freeze.
