Post subject:  Storing metallic paint

Before ganons I needed to do sum touch up on Arfa took me 35 minutes to strain the paint .
So asked a spray painter about it he told me to change the paint into a glass jar because the metallic paint if left in the tin for more than 12 months the flake reacts with the steel and will stuff up your paint .
So if your storing metallic paint move it to a jar.
THAT COULD BE THE TIP OF DAY FOR ME.

and then to make it last (nearly) forever, chuck it in the bottom of the fridge.


just make sure it is really sealed airtight, otherwise the lettuce will smell funny :wink:

yeah, the flakes are aluminium. i used to work in a factory where we made the powder then milled it into flake for paints (but the flakes for car paint are milled in Japan :( ).

aluminium = very reactive with huge surface area to react with any oxidants.
