Painting vinyl siding

Had some damaged sidings and got them replaced but contractor couldn't find matching colors because prev owner had it painted over with custom tint. They did left me a can of old paint with color codes and everything. Do i need to apply primer before painting them? Should I get new can of paint because the one that was left here is over 2 years old.

Go talk to the paint store. I don't think you can paint vinyl outside when the temperature is below 10 degree celsius overnight.
