Jake,
That is a really good idea for those folks who have a Hobby Room. Those racks can be picked up on the cheap at Flea Markets and online.

Good idea. Have not seen any though. I made my own with some 1 inch sluminium angle.

That is a novel idea, the cost of manufacturers paint racks is quite honestly laughable for what they are. :thumbup:

Sorry missed that, lol, I was too keen too see how much they were. The stepped ones are £15.69 on Fleabay via your link which is a bargain. I have all of my Vallejo paint in a tupperware container which keeps them all in one neat place, but I can't see the labels. This means picking up umpteen bottles to find the right one every time. These racks are a brilliant idea.
