A person who can properly store his or her acrylic paints will be able to keep the paints in good condition so they look good for a long time. In order to properly store this paint, a person should:

• Wipe the paint – The paint should be wiped from the edges of all of the bottles of acrylic paints. If a person leaves paint on the edges, this could result in the paint clotting and then the lid will not seal correctly. If the lid does not seal properly, the paint inside will likely end up drying up.

• Dry the edges – After the edges have been wiped, they also should be dried. A person who uses a damp rag can wipe the bottle clean. The edges should be dry before they are stored. If there is water left over, it can introduce types of bacteria and other substances that may cause a discoloration of the paint. It also could change the texture of acrylic paints.

• Close the lids – Each lid of the acrylic paints should be tightly closed and sealed. It is important that the lid is tight in order to prevent air from coming in through one of the cracks.

• Store it – After a person is absolutely sure that each of the acrylic paints have been properly closed and are sealed from air coming in to them, they should then be sealed in an airtight plastic container. A large Tupperware container is often fine to use for doing something like this.

A person who does this will soon find that when he or she removes the acrylic paints the next time to paint that they will be in pretty much the same shape that they were when they were first stored.
