Paint organization?
Posted by ipms40049 on Tuesday, May 24, 2005 7:50 PM
Do you all have your paints organized by what their for? like paints for just Armor stuff in one place, paint colors for like ships in another? or do you all just have them all mixed up together?

I have mine by testors little bottles and Model Masters in a "library" and I "check them out" for each painting session.
I have multiple testors roullette(?) type thingies so I can find them easily.

I just have a multi drawer container.. the top two are paints... enamels in one and acrylic in the other... I used to try to keep them by lines of colors... (all blues in one line, all browns in another) but I figured out soon I use the same colors almost consistently so I just use the survival of the fittest (most used) as my orginization now... the ones I use the most always are in front...

Mine are organized by general colour, red, blue, green, etc, plus a seperate stash for the "metalizers" and clears.

I keep mine in old biscuit tins and have recently started taking out those paints needed for the current project and placing them in a clear container that sits with the model and tools in the workshop. Hopefully I then only have to go searching the once.

I keep my unopened paints on shelves divided by colors - greens, browns, yellows, etc. My open paints are kept on a paint carousel next to the work bench.
