Default Need info on my paint mixture

Hey guys, on the paint label that has the different colors, etc I was wondering what "Fine Alum", "Medium Alum", & "Course A" meant. Just wondering what those meant, the paint is supposed to be a kind of medium silver metallic color.

Also, I bought the paint back in 2007. Ive opened it twice since Ive bought it just to see the color. I originally bought it for a truck I had back then but now would like to spray my Camaro with it. Im wondering how long paint last. When I open it, it is a milky white color, but once I stir it for a few minutes it goes to the color I picked out and had mixed up.

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

The different aluminum are the size of the metallic used in the mix. Coarse will give you the heavy stand out metallic look, fine is a shuttle look. Paint will be fine, just slake or stir it well before using
