If this container was used to store paint (a different color for each section), would the container keep the paint viable when closed?

No. If the paint was "poured into each section" it would dry out... The container lid is not air tight. If the different paint colors were placed individually into small air tight containers that fit into each section, it would work fine. But the lid does not seal air tight onto the container with sections. It hold beads or buttons, etc., well.

I have spray painted a shelving system similar to this. However... I painted it with a primer first... This allowed the spray paint to stick. Not sure it's worth the effort to buy a new one for this purpose... but I was re-purposing an old bookshelf... so it worked for me.

I don't see any reason it cannot... As long as they lay flat atop each-other... We've stored a lot of items in there... And it shuts with no issues...

I would say "probably." I have painted pieces of my car interior and it worked great - it doesn't even look like paint but like the natural color of the plastic. I'd bet you'd probably need a dozen cans for fridge, though.

I would think NO as the veneer typically will not hold paint well. But if you know more about paint that I, maybe.

I believe so, it is think plastic and closes very right! Where would it be stored? It is a very durable item!

Absolutely. It has a milky look when wet, just paint it on, water cleanup, and wood gets dark. I got a 5 gallon container, which will last me last me forever, and has worked for 3 seasons so far.

Yes. I use them in my art and store small amounts of acrylic varnish, or other liquids that harden if they are not air tight and the material stays fresh.

Yes, definitely! I used mine to store markers, using the clear cases as shelves. Hope this helps!

I did not try, but I think it is a good idea. It should work, since the paint will probably not disturb/change, e.g. the thickness of the material. Good luck!

I'm not sure about that, our gravy boat fell apart after a few uses. Liquid seeped inside insulated walls and we could not clean it. I don't think I would use it for storage.

I'm not sure I understand the question. It's a plain, white plastic paint pail. It seems it would be hard to get color or decoration to stick to it.

I bought these to store paint mixed with a paint conditioner and they were perfect. I ordered the lids separately (for this particular container) and they sealed tight. They were exactly what I needed.

It can be. I use it with acrylic paints which are water based and I always use keep water in it. This is a high quality product and I recommend it highly.

I have not had it stored very long, but can only guess that as long as the container cap is tightly closed it should last for years as long as temperature conditions are stable and not too warm. It is however a petroleum product and the effectiveness in some petroleum products can deteriorate even if never opened over many years. I apologize for this non-answer, if you plan on keeping it without use for a long time you should consult someone with expert knowledge, I just like how it works and don't know about it's intricate chemical properties.

Yes. Cleaning the container is almost as hard as cleaning the unit though, and wastes a lot of paint. Thus: Far easier to have an extra container. Use the clean one for cleaning the sprayer only, put the lid on the other between coats to store the paint. Then it's not too bad.

In must cases yes. If what you paint will be exposed to rain or other wet conditions I would suggest sealing.
