Those seem to have a very narrow neck so pouring in your premixed paint would be difficult. Second, look for a bottle that matches up to a siphon feed head that will work with your airbrush if is it that type. Then you can eliminate a step of transferring paint every time you wanted to spray a little of it.My 2 cents [2c]

Everytime I see a Gunze "Mr. Something" it makes me laugh.  Mr. Spare Bottle is one of the best so far Laugh [(-D]

I completely forgot about those Tamiya jars. Don't have any but saw them on Tamiya's site a while back. If you can get them they'd be ideal. Graduations to give you a visual for mixing, plastic cap liners that are pointed for the paint to run down instead of pooling in the top, wide mouth for filling and stirring. Don't get much better. Unless of course they would screw on an airbrush cap.

Personally, I've just reused bottles I've emptied and airbrush bottles. I have a bunch of empty 1oz Plasti-Kote Touch Up bottles. That's my favorite primer.

I knew I'd seen this before...

Gunze's "Mr Spare Bottle"

I believe it's a 10ml jar like the ones their paint comes in.

I'd say they'd be perfect as long the small neck isn't a problem for filling or mixing. Looks like the same type of bottle that Alclad comes in. With the plastic seal in the cap they'll last for a long time. Price isn't bad but I'm not sure about the shipping, that seems kind of high.

Hello,

 I'm looking to get some small bottles to put thinned paint in.  I found this type on Ebay and wondered if they would work all right. Available in 1/2 - 1 - 2oz etc...

 Boston Round Clear Glass Bottles with PolySeal Cap
