Can any of you suggest any sites or direction into where i can find some? Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Buying pots? :D Why not using old medicines, or you can drop by at some hairdressers and ask for the empty pots they use have from all the cosmetics products! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Or old camera film containers. If you know anyone who still uses them - maybe you could ask at your local photo shop or equivalent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glayvin34 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Try a Crafts Store like Michael's or something, they usually have those for pretty cheap because they know modelers aren't the only ones mixing paint. Here are some on eBay for $4, but with another $4 shipping, so you can probably find that same kind of set at a crafts store and not pay the shipping.

Lestat Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 This store https://www.tinytools.co.uk has some glass jars of various sizes with screw top lids which are pretty handy. Look under the airbrushing spares section. I know I've bought plastic ones before, but I can't remember the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 http://ironwindmetals.com/catalog/product_...roducts_id=2070 6 .5 oz bottles for $4.25. I put all my paints into these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurth Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Or rinse out (near-)empty paint pots. Fully-hardened acrylic paint is not too hard to remove by simply pulling it out of the pot, while if it hasn't hardened yet you can wash it out under a running tap or something. Just make sure to clean up afterward :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
