Workbench Organization - Paint Racks
Posted by AllenRockwell on Wednesday, April 6, 2016 1:32 AM

There is a company called GameCraft Miniatures that makes products for wargamers but they also make some very awesome paint racks and other workbench organizers.  The paint racks are available in lots of sizes to fit most brands of paint.  I have several of these racks on my workbench and I love them.

Check them out here  http://gcmini.mybigcommerce.com/paint-racks/

Allen,Excellent information.. I've bought the paint those game store sells and it works quite well. I like Vallejo Medium Sea Gray for roads.

Well, I have the traditional MicroMark Model 80 paint bottle carousel (or a knockoff there-off):

Also, I just finished this fabricated rack a few days ago to hold the booming population of Craft Paint bottles (plus glue, thinner, stain, etc). Long solid plastic trays supported by an aluminum-angle framework and plenty of machine screws and nuts. So far it seems sturdy, and much more room than the plastic baskets I was using...

I just realized, it must have been over 12 years since I last used that boombox in the second image, have to test it some day, make sure it still works.

Good idea on getting the paints organized.  I don't have anywhere near that many types of paints.  Bed, Bath, and Beyond is one (of many) places that sell inexpensive wall-mounted spice racks that you can easily use for paint.  That is such a space saver!
