Shelf life under normal conditions is 2 years unopened. Partially used cans might develop skinning if not tightly sealed.
The shelf life on most Kilz products is at least 2 years old, if unopened. I've had paint/primer sitting for even longer without any problems when I finally got around to using it.
Oxidation: Primers can start to break down when exposed to air for too long. This process, called oxidation, can affect the primer's ability to bond with your paint.
Unfortunately the quality of primer degrades at a considerably faster rate than that of your standard paint once opened, but if left unopened the product should last for around 10 years. Once opened, you may get around two years out of your primer purchase.
There are no expiration dates on primers. If they are stored at moderate temperatures, and dry conditions, they will function perfectly for a very long time. I have seen cartridges that were over 100 years old fire without issues.
Most primers have a storage life of two to three years, considerably less time than a paint can.
Unfortunately, an expired primer might do the opposite. Its ingredients can start to clump together. This can leave your makeup looking patchy by midday. Or worse, the primer might not even out your skin texture from the start, failing to settle into the fine lines from the initial application.
We would advise researching local paint disposal regulations. Many areas have local household hazardous waste drop off sites that will collect old and unwanted paint. In addition, more states are now joining PaintCare, which puts a focus on recycling paint, further reducing the impact of unused paint.

No, white paint doesn't work as a paint primer. This is because the composition between paint and primer is quite different. Primer has more resin and less pigment than regular paint.
Open cans of paint don't last as long, but if the can is sealed after painting and stored in a cool, dry location, such as a heated garage or a basement, the paint can last for years. On average, paint lasts about ten years before it needs to be tossed, although some paint products may last up to fifteen years.
KILZ 2 GRAY Primer is a fast-drying, water-based, multi-surface primer-sealer-stainblocker which is best used under dark, rich and deep vibrant color topcoats.
Technically, yes, you can do that. Some circumstances don't require sanding the existing paint and primer before repainting. If you choose this route, the car's surface might show minimal damage like puncture holes, body scratches, dents, and cracks.

However, disposing of paint in this way can be dangerous. Pouring paint down the drain can coat the drain and the pipes connected to it with paint. Over time, coat after coat of paint will build up and block the plumbing system. In addition, paint is hazardous when poured down the drain.

It's recommended that you replace mascara every three months, lipsticks every year and eyeliner every three to six months (though pencils last longer than liquids). Primers and foundations usually last about two years, Zeichner said, and powdered products like blush and eye shadow are typically the same.
Look for a date accompanied with “use by,” “sell by,” or “best by.”Check the bottom of the product, the sides of the container, the lid, and the necks of bottles. The numbers are stamped on and can sometimes be hard to read or find depending on where they were placed.
Most experts agree that no cosmetic product should be used after three years from opening.
