[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just because the paint is discontinued doesn't mean it is irreplaceable.  The can it came in should have the tinting numbers on it and you can bring this to any paint store and they will be able to recreate the color.  as for storage I have heard it is best to store in the original can upside down.  Not sure how long it will last but that should help it last a bit longer.[/quote]

OP here--this is exactly what I thought so thanks for confirming my suspicion.  However, I took the paint can into the Sherwin Williams store (it was Duron paint) and he said the ceiling paint I had was discontinued.  It wasn't a color thing, it was a sheen thing.  Are there different kinds of "flat"?  I guess so.  He said he's had many customers come in and ask for whatever he could do to replicate the old Duron ceiling paint and they all come back mad b/c it's not the same!  So frustrating!  I was able to squeeze out what I needed for this round of touch ups but now I'm worried it will be a total re-do next time!  Thanks for advice all![/quote]
