Paint Question

[paul253]

I recently had my basement remodeled and that included the electrical closet where I kept all my paint. I wanted to move it because I had the closet carpeted and I also wanted some more space for storage. I asked the carpenter, who is my cousin, if I could store it in the garage. He said yes, as long as its off the ground. My brother and brother in law both said I couldn't because it would freeze. I'd like to keep it out there but I need it for touch ups and what not so I can't have it getting ruined. Can I store paint in the garage over the winter time? I'm just talking about regular indoor egg shell type wall paint.

I wouldn't recommend it.

How much paint are we talking about?

[paul253]

Ive got about 6 cans maybe. Mostly a little over a quarter full. Plus maybe three quart cans, all about half full.

I've done that before. I have a 3 car unattatched garage, no insulation/heater. Really messed up the paint. I was using some name brand paint too

Latex-based shouldn't be allowed to freeze, oil-based can tolerate cold weather. But if in doubt, why don't risk it?
