Should be fine as long as the Etch primer has not been activated!
Primer will be ok.
Don't let them freeze or get too cold though.

on this subject I had some satin black celly paint that was around 5 years old and went to use it the other day and it just kept drying grey!!!!
Have binned it now, obviously something has happened to it!

It probably just needed some more shaking.
When stood for a long time it is harder to get the contents back into solution. This is why the suppliers have shaker banks and/or rollers to mix up
the paint cans.
Not uncommon to take 10-15 minutes plus of shaking.
