    Hi All
    Discovered a number of unopened crown covermatt / dulex cover matt paint in the attic from 3 years ago.
    Would this still be ok to use ? or does it go off after a while?

    Thanks

    Should be fine as long as you stir it up really well. You'll know just by looking at it then. Once its not hard and lumpy you should be fine.

    Emulsion paints stink to high heaven when they're left for a few years and the water separates from the paint. However, they're normally still usable. Make sure to open them outdoors though. And use an electric drill with a mixer bit.
