Paint bottles (1 Viewer)

Can anyone suggest a site or shop where I can find glass bottles with lids to keep custom-mixed paint in? Seems silly, but I've looked online as well as a few craft shops yet can't locate any.

Have you tried the dollar stores? or do you know anyone that has a baby? or what about the empty glass spice jars you can buy.

I use old liquid glue jars washed out they always come over here with the child safety twist caps and, its quite cheap if you buy them just to through the liquid away. Obviously, in an enviromentaly friendly manner

Testor paints sells mixing bottles. They carry the small testor gloss bottles and the model master size empty bottles. At least when I ordered some last year they were still in stock.

Games Workshop do their plastic paint pots as empties. Not free of course, but they are pretty cheap.

If you already have paints, too, don't throw the bottles out, but clean them and save them. If you use something to remove paint from figures, like oven cleaner or brake fluid, use the same solution to clean the jars.

Prost!
