Best Way to Store Paint?

I like to buy my paint in full boxes because it's the cheapest way to buy. My only problem is that I don't use that much when I play. I wind up going through mabye 750 rounds in a day, perhaps 1000 if I get trigger happy.

My only problem is that by the time I get to the bottom of the box of paint some of the balls are dimpled and don't shoot straight at all. It is normally a month or so for me to get through a box, so it's really not that long.

What I want to know is how you all store your paint that you don't use? What's the best way to keep it so that it doesn't wind up letting me down when I need it the most by zinging wildly out the end of the barrel?

I just keep mine in my closet by the front door. Granted, I never go longer then a month before using it.

But do you keep it in the bags that it comes in or do you store it in some other form?

Just turn it once a week and it will keep for awhile I would think.

Somewhere cool and dry is all I look for.

Kept some in my garage for 6ish weeks, other than the balls that got wet that day I bought it, it was in good shape when I used it.

I keep them in the bags. They have a protective oil on them that repells moisture.

There are a handful of threads about this. Here's one that seems to be pretty good.
