Anyone have a good technique or tool they use to pour paint from a bottle into an airbrush paint bottle or cup? I have never mastered this problem and I'm really getting tired of losing paint on the newspaper I use to paint parts on. Thanks, in advance.

For enamel paint from tins and Tamiya acrylics i transfer it useing an old paint brush.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

You can use pipettes,eye droppers,or plastic hypodermics to transfer the paint.

Hi DavidfromPA,
We were just discussing this recently in the thread below:

You might check it out in case something is missed here.
BTW, I go the pipette route
Sorry, the hotlink tool isn't working again. And I've been having such good luck with it....I must have done something differently.
I use the little spoon end of Tamiya stir sticks. One drop at a time.

Pipette is the way to go. Stock up on a bunch. You never have enough on hand.

There's one I never considered. Clever, Stik.
I pour the paint down along a hobby stick, angling the stick to where you want the paint to go. Works for me, without the expense of pipettes.
