Leftover Paint |
Use it up, share it or evaporate it. Lead-free paint may be used up or shared if it is not too old and has never been frozen.
Before you buy new paint, try to use what you have. Leftover paint could be used as a primer coat or to paint the garden shed. If you are unable to use the paint, try to share it with a neighbor, friend or community group. Service organizations, theater groups or recreation departments may be able to use it.
Oil & Water-Based Paints may be shared if:
- The paint is lead-free
- You have more than 1/3 gallon
- The paint is still in the original can
- The can has a legible label
- It has not been frozen (latex paint only)
