How long does lacquer paint last?
An opened tin of lacquer paint lasts about two years, but it depends on how it is stored. The shelf life of lacquer paint is adversely affected by cold and heat.
How should I store lacquer paint?
We recommend storing the paint tin upside down, sine this reduces the risk of air in the tin. Avoid storing the paint in areas that are too cold or too hot, such as next to a radiator.
