Hey there guys,
I haven't noticed a post on this, so I figured that I'd share a quick tip.
After you finish airbrushing a color, and before you clean it all out, spray the bottle cap top with the leftover paint that's in the siphon tube or color cup. For 1 , it makes finding that color easier in your paint storage, and 2, it also indicates which paint has been opened and possibly thinned.

Nice idea, I have been putting those little white dots on top and painting them, but I guess just spraying the tops is the same thing, just cheaper, and I like cheaper.... LOL

Like your Bagdad Bob quote....LOL I have always wondered what ever happen to him, Tweekie Aeezie, and all the Sadamm and usay and qsay look alikes......

I do the same thing...or when after mixing I simply brush the mixed colour on the lid.
Great minds think alike.
Cheers
