Very old tin of paint

I found a very old tin of paint in the garage, oil-based undercoat made by Dulux when it was part of ICI. Does this mean it will contain higher levels of volatile organic compounds and therefore be much better :-) After much time taken to remove the lid, it mixed perfectly with the consistency of a tub of single cream and was a pleasure to use.

I suppose that is more PC than the usual reference to the spiritual leader of the Roman Catholic Church :-)

I have old tins of Red Lead Oxide ..... won't get lead paints anywhere any more, but a great primer.

I thought I read somewhere that you could buy them as long as the stated purpose was for a boat.
