Paint stowage

Post by Paul »

I use Vallejo and have quite a few eyedropper bottles full but the space I have to stow them in is quite limited. How do you stow and what do you use for paint stowage? I need pics for this kind of help.

Many of my paints are stored in such small plastic punnets:

Lots of those punnets are stored in a small cabinet we bought for low budget in a store.

I had a great paint rack made up for my desk, however now my paints are scattered between all over my desk and the garage lol. So long story short, wherever they fit :tongue:

Here's mine. Just a simple three drawer organizer. Labels on top of the bottles are green for flat, pink for metallics, and orange for gloss colors.

I will have to come up with something that maybe spins in the fashion of a lazy susan . I already have stowed my stuff in a similar way you guys have shown but my biggest problem lies in the ability for quick location of a color and a way to not knock them over.

I made myself a rack, much like Martins...only much smaller.
I hung it on the wall, at arms reach, by the bench.
Simple 1"X4"..ripped in half, for the shelves and sides, and a piece of trim to create a "lip" to keep the paints from falling off.

I thank every one for their inputs. I like Owl's approach and all the others as well. Fermie's looks like the winner so far.
