Interesting point. I'm sure cans are available in different grades and with
di different coatings. Probably not a concern if you use it all up, but
I've had paint contaminated by rust when I wanted to do a touch up a year
later.

I looked at a few more of the other guy's paint cans tonight, and found that
on a few, the entire lid is rusted, not just the edges where he obviously
abused them. These cans have the same 2003 date mark as the others.

Joe,

Unless you were there when the previous owner bought the paint it seems
silly to assume that the cans where originally sold in 2003 or that the
paint cans were not damaged to begin with. My limited experience is that
paint cans stored out of the elements don't rust in just a few years. That
these cans have leads me to wonder how old the cans are. how the cans were
stored et c. These are things that you don't know.

True, he could've bought them in 1997 and waited until 2003 to paint. My
comments are based on what they said when I first toured the house in 2004.
"We painted last year". It's more than a few cans, though. A total of 8
from two different sources, Behr and Sears. All damaged?

Were the paint cans rusty when you took possession or did they rust
after that? Somewhere along the timeline, they were exposed to
moisture. Maybe a plumbing leak, or maybe they were stored elsewhere
for a time.
