During my regular monthly visit to my local toy shop (called Toyworld - if only the world was full of toys!), they have just got a new batch of Tamiya paints. So what did they do with the old ones I hear you ask - they marked them down to $2 (that's Aussie bucks)! Normally Tamiya Acrylics are anywhere from $4 to $5.50 (depending on which shop). I bought two dozen different types - but I thought . . . some of these paints were probably here since I first started modelling, which is well over 12 years ago.
So my question is this - Do Tamiya Acrylics, or Acrylics in general, have a shelf-life? Should they be used within "x" years of production for best results?
ps - if the answer is No, I'm going back to buy another couple of dozen!
