How long is paint good for?

I have this leftover paint that I would need to paint a small area (hallway with LOTS of doors). The paint can was opened 1.5 years ago. Kept inside (so no garage/hot/freezing conditions).

Is it still good?

TIA

Yep, should be fine as long as it was sealed.

We just opened up 2 cans of paint that we had in our garage for 2 yrs, and they were fine.

It should be fine.. just be sure to stir it up really well because it separates after sitting around for so long :)

Thanks! I will go to BM to have it "professionaly" shaken again. It was the Natura paint so it was $$$$. I would love not to have to spend $50 on another can.
