I have 2 - 1litre tins of 2pack Candy apple Red that have been in storage for a year:
1) Is there a shelf life to paint?
2) I can get these made up into spray tins, but does 2 pack paint need to be oven baked or is that just something the pros do to speed up the painting process (i.e does it change the way the paint drys/adheres)?
Cheers

i belive the baking process is to harden the finish i dont know about the cans ,but i reckon yould get better results if you gave it all to superbike dan

do not use two pack paint without the proper breathing apparatus, it contains isocyanates, (cyanide)
not good stuff fella....well not to breathe in anyway

as i spray cars i'll let you know, the low bake oven speeds up the drying time to get a better finish & also give you time to repaint incase of paint reaction, the paint will need a serious stirr if its been shelved a while, i should be opening a new paint shop december/january time for anyone interested, im just collecting my work together to put on myspace so you can get a sample of things ive done, i know ive had alot of interest on here in the past

you can get cold curing stuff for the paint so no need for a oven in 2 pak
did colour matching for 18 months but cant fink of the stuff
for the life of me lol.used to use it when painting cars outside lol
