I found some of my old paints and there are 32 pots of the old citadel paints that still have a fair bit of paint in them. There are some colours, metallics and inks. It looks like they've separated but does anyone know, if I mix them up enough, are they still ok to use?

They're from 1992 but some are probably later, maybe upto 1995 and they're the ones used when GW still made models with lead in them - I opened them up and they still have that.... citadel paints smell that the new ones don't seem to have, really takes me back lol. Anyway, since there's so many of them, Im hoping that they are still OK but would the old paints ruin the current plastic models or not? Really looking forward to applying 'Bronzed Flesh' to something XD

I still have paints from that era on the go. Add a glass bead (a small marble for example) into the jar and give it a really good shake. Alternately, get a stick and stir it and shake it up.

The paint itself, when mixed up properly, will not harm the plastic.

Excellent! thanks very much. That's good news and should save me quite a bit of money too.

yeah, if the can is half full though, it would have congealed by now, if its stil fluid, youre rockin

The old ones don't seem to dry up .I've still got ones from the late 80s and there going strong . Just add abit of water and shake
