Try a sample on a small piece of wall and see… wait a few days to check it… it really depends on if it had ever FROZE (assuming it's Acrylic)… if it did, then it's no good any more… if it is oil base it probably is still good…
Like to add; if the paint is too thick it can be thinned, stir it well before using and if it smells bad (rotten eggs or worse) DO NOT USE. This applied to all paints and primers.
5-year-old gallon can of mixed antique white paint is likely still usable for your bathroom project. However, before proceeding with application, it is crucial to conduct a thorough inspection of the paint’s consistency, texture, and odor. If the paint appears lumpy, separated, or emits a foul smell, it is advisable to discard it due to potential spoilage.
To enhance the paint’s usability, vigorous stirring or shaking can help reincorporate any settled particles and restore its original composition. Additionally, straining the paint through a mesh screen or cloth can help remove any impurities that may have formed over time, ensuring a smoother application and finish.
Prior to painting, testing a small inconspicuous area on the bathroom wall can provide insight into the paint’s adherence and color accuracy. If the paint exhibits satisfactory properties during this test, it should be safe to proceed with painting the entire bathroom.
