    I started painting miniatures back in the late 80's, maybe early 90's.
    I have been through many a pot of paint in that time. Some finished completely, others that have gone hard and crusty and needed throwing. However I STILL have one pot of paint that I bought back in the early 90's that I still use today.
    Its a colour that doesn't get a lot of use but is great for tongues etc.
    Titillating Pink!
    Pot must be 25-30 years old yet just keeps hanging in there.

    Curious if any other "old timer painters' have a trusty old pot of paint??

    None quite that old, most of the paint I have is about 8 years old right now.

    ...although I did have a pot of Chestnut Ink from 2002 on my shelf up until about a year ago, finally had to retire it after I used it all up!

    I have several pots of older paint kicking around. I know I have several pots of bilious green and leprous brown somewhere as those were the primary colors for my first Tyranid army.
