I just put all my paints in a drawer with a sticker on the top of each lid with the Tamiya number and arrange them in order from lowest to highest. With MM or other brands you could arrange them by FS numbers as well.

You could just as easily crate a table in your word processor. You could use headings such as date purchased, price, brand, color, MFG code, national color code (e.g., FS or RLM#),  type (enamel, spray, acrylic), used on (what models were painted with this color) Mix with X to make Y, (two sub columns), matches (what other color brand/color matches it,), highlight with, shade with, etc.  then use the table function to sort by any of these columns.

No matter how you do it, you're going to have to maintain this in a word processor, spreadsheet or database. How elaborate or simple you want to make it is up to you.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

There is an ad on the FSM homepage for Manage My Collectables...their program for modeling covers supplies too.

I keep an inventory paints and kits using an Excel spreadsheet. If you don't have access to that, Open Office, Lotus Symphony or Sun Office are all full featured office programs available free for the download. Or you can sign up for Google Docs and keep it online.

So long folks!

Was somebody somewhere advertising inventory software that helps a modeler keep track of the paint bottles in his inventory?

As my inventory of paint grows, I'm starting to lose track...
