Tiny Bottles for paint mixing.

[Marktastrophe]

Hey all, I just wanted to take a moment to share a decent deal I found on a practical product.
I have a habit of mixing way more pain than I need, and not wanting to toss it... resulting in mixing bottles holding cool colors on my shelf, but leaving me short on me short on mixing bottles.

I got 50 of these 5ml bottles delivered for $11

But as an FYI the price has already gone up a whole dollar since I bought them two weeks ago (arrived in about a week, then I took a week to get around to using one)
eBay: 50 pcs 5ml bottles

I use baby food jars or old glass jars or soup cans to decant spray paint or store it in. I take a plastic sandwich bag and place it over the top of the can then spray into the soup can with the bag draped over the edge so that I don't get spray paint all over me and my hands or the surrounding area or overspray on anything else in my yard, or workspace. I then pour the paint into the jar or other things. I also mix paint with the soup cans. Just use your imagination when doing this. You'll be surprised at what you can think up when you need to!

Great tip, thanks! And FYI if you look around on ebay there is someone selling them for $9.01 delivered.

This is very helpful. I like to mix paint I may use more than once and set some aside for later. This is a cheaper option than the fancy Ak bottles I was using

I'm Dutchy, which means I don't throw away anything I might be able to use. In this context, that means that I clean and recycle paint jars, like old Model Master and Tamiya paint jars. I like the Tamiya jars the best, because of the inner seal cap that they included. They're great for mixing paints, and storing paints and solutions for my traveling kit. I also use them for storing dry materials, like ground pastel chalks.
