So I've collected a decent number of Vallejo paints ... and now I'm going bonkers trying to find the right ones every time. I have a series of small bins I store them in, but given their weird, seemingly random number system, I can't classify by numbers. I try to organize by general color groups, but that drives me nuts when I run out of space in that color group or I try to find based on number specifically.

Any suggestions on how other people handle this??

I have a large draw which they get sorted out into colour groups, which works fine until the Better half tidies up for me and just chucks them in any old how. So most of the time now they are all over the place .

I have a multi-tiered lazy susan I picked up at a second hand store. Think it was made for spices or something.



I find it works great.

A good idea is to drop a blob of paint on the top of the lid, that way if they are in a draw, you know what the colors are without taking them all out!!!
