As for 7 year old Humbrol - it depends on the container.

I've sucessfully used humbrol that was older than that, but it was either
in factory-sealed tins or transferred to glass during the long wait.

You'll know when you try to use it.  Even if there's still liquid
present, sometimes it just wont shake/stir properly.  I'd advise anyone
with aged paint of any brand to put in into one of those paint-shakers
(or make one from a pad-sander) for quite some time before opening it.
If you're spraying, then I also reccommend letting it sit for a while
after shaking. Stirring does not add as many bubbles as shaking, but
shaking does not fool you by making bad paint *seem* to mix.

I've also had Humbrol that was bad the day I bought it, which is why I
essentially always immediately put it into Polly-S/Floquil bottles.
If shaking sounds OK and it's _never_ been opened, then I think the
tin's probably fine.
