Can a quality latex paint be damaged if it has been frozen and thawed?
A. Yes, latex paint can be damaged if it has been frozen. Problems that can occur are reduced gloss, separation of ingredients, and the formation of “grit” or lumps. Often, though paint may survive one or two freeze-thaw cycles. If paint is frozen, it should be thawed slowly and then thoroughly stirred. If it appears to be smooth, of normal consistency, and of the proper color, it is OK to use.
