what's this paint?

[malcolmsmill]

I suspect others will have the same problem

I have numerous tins of paint, the receipts for which are lost

here's the problem.....

the tins are unmarked or barely marked (ok I know I'm stoopid)

some will be cellulose whilst others will be polyester 2pack or acrylic 2pack

does anybody know how to identify which is which???????

Minced beef and custard anyone?

some you can tell by smell , otherwise do a small sample and see if it dries or dries matt like basecoat
