Until recently I would have said six months tops, but last weekend I found two bags that were in a buddy's closet for about a year. One bag of Diablo Blaze (opened) and a bag of some ultra ****ty Great American (unopened). The Blaze was a little dry, but shot and broke fine. The GA still sucked and had developed some nice little nipples on the gravity side but it still shot.
 
well under my bed near the buggie man...

i keep my paint under my bed so the temp stays the same. id say about 2-3 months and in that span of time ud probably use it unless u keep like 10 cases under ur bed. just keep ur paint in like room temp and dry. no humidity.

Depends on the type and the current batch. Hellfire used to expire quickly, like a month and a half or so, whereas Marbs would last for 2 1/2 months just fine. Right now the runs of Powerball I get last about 2 months if I stir them twice a week or so. Allstar is really less than that, about five weeks without any apparent negative effects. Hellfire right now is excellent at two months. I keep all my paint on the top shelf of my closet.

All of this could be subject to change. Paint changes slightly all the time.
