Paints Table and Paint Storage

Hello There! I have seen how a number of painters keep 'control' of their painting table, (or not!), and thought I would post what I have done with mine.


These would all sit on a large lipped plastic tray. When the number of colours I had became unmanageable I separated the rows using strips of plywood. This then grew some more and the tray was not large enough!

I saw this laser cut MDF tray, which for the life of me I cannot remember where I purchased them from!, and clipped the standing ones together with bulldog clips on the back.

The Vallejo paints are in number order and I have become accustomed to the order they are in, although from another view the colours and shades of the same colours are spread through the entire range! 


The other products I use for painting are equally messy and I found some small boxes for sale in 'The Works' They are only in lightweight wood, (probably balsa), with a small clip on the front.

I used some different colours paints for each one and when I still could not find what I wanted quickly I then printed some labels off and encapsulated them and glued them to the boxes.

It took a little time but had saved far more time searching since.
