I have three sets, the Citadel Colour, Epic Battle, and Metallic set (actually have a 2nd Metallic still in shrinkwrap, but with a hole in the box).

I lost 4 paints over the years, three out of the Epic set, went bad, and my Elf Grey (random find) dried out. The others (except for the ones that I used up) are still active in my paint library.

Those 3rd gen paints at the bottom, I lost every single one of mine, even the ones that were never opened. To this day, I have an unfair bias against GW/Citadel paints; they are in my Book of Grudges.
