Don’t throw out empty Tamiya paint bottles. Not only are they great for mixing paint, but they can be used with siphon feed airbrushes, because Badger and Paasche caps fit them perfectly. I modify the siphon tube to reach the bottom of the Tamiya bottles. If you mix paint and have some left over, you can use the Tamiya cap to seal the bottle until ready for use. I cannot tell you how much paint this has saved me. So if you have used up a bottle of Tamiya paint, clean and save it. I have several, so I can mix enough for a project and nothing goes to waste.
