   If it hasn't frozen and doesn'y have an ammonia smell, go for it. I have a couple gallons of same paint I redo window and door trim weith as needed - bought in about '97

   I concur with the opinion that if it has not been frozen it is ok to use.  My only concern is that it is from BM.  Personally, I feel BM is hard to apply.   Paint has changed dramatically in 6 years.  (low temp application, self-priming, lifetime warranties etc.)   You might consider other paint options that will hold up longer. (hint...Duration coatings from SW)

   Thanks for the reply. I have always been told that BM was the best there was, but I will look into the SW Duration before going ahead with the paint job. Thanks again

   Seeing as to how long I have had this paint I could say the same thing. ( Laugh )

   Thanks to all

   How much do you have?  Enough for sure for the whole job?  If you run out, getting an exact match might be a problem.
