Storing your paint?

billykrush 2013-08-08 15:01:36
Hey, guys/girls.
hi! :)

Just wanted to know how every body stores their paint.
In racks?
In a box?
In a paint station etc?

I've got a whole box full of paint and I know this isn't the most effective way of storing the paint. It can take me minutes to find the right one sometimes!
Any advice?
I use GW and Vallejo... and a bit of reaper.
cheers

I've got a Raaco box to store them in (http://www.raaco.com/) Open in a new window
Really handy since I carry my paint around a lot.

Only 1 problem, when I bought the box, I had enaugh space to store my paints, my basing materials and all my tools & brushes.
Now, 5 years later, I bought a second box for my regular acrylics (GW, Vallejo,...) and 1 for my airbrush paint and I still lack space :p

Idd, it's something like this: http://www.raaco.com/productsdetails-1122.aspx?ProductID=136327&VariantID=&GroupID=Boxes Open in a new window ind CarryLite

Only difference is that I have an older version which they don't make anymore

By theway, I'm thinking of buying me this system:

Looks handy although it's something you should keep on your desk permanently...

you should look a little further, it is meant to be clicked toghether, making a setup for you desk.
I should need at least around 200 spots :)

oh yeah I saw the interlocking modules. Too much desktop real estate. - my table is not that big! doh!
I would probably need something that stacks vertically.
thanks for the ideas though... :)

The Wall Climber is interesting but this is cool as well.
Bit of DIY brilliance.

Check out the "Paintier" -- I have two and love them.

Oh yeah. Thanks...
I've seen them b4 in some videos.
I thought they were lazy susannes or something.
I'm going for a case like system though as i'll have to pack up my paints when I'm done.
When i eventually move to a new house I'll get my own hobby room!
woohoo! Till then... i'll have to make do with a case system.

thanks
Bill
