Best Paint Shaker for Miniature & Model Paints

[regraham]

Hey guys, do you use a paint shaker tool for stubborn paints?

 

I just bought a vortex mixer and love it.

 

Here's a summary of the best mixers

Wow, I would really appreciate one of those. I'm not going to rush out and buy one just yet due to the price but being able to mix paint well without having to shove a stirrer into it would be really useful. My Scale 75 copper paint set really need a good shake, I only really seem to get medium out of them.

 

Thanks for the info, I think my GW metallic paints will be shaking in their boots if I order one of those.

Yeah. I nees this. I have several valllejo army painter system paints that seperate into 2 distinct colors. Its weird because when i store then on their sides in my tool box they come out 50/50 when dropped onto the pallet. Lol.

 

 

And metallics definitly often settle out of their mediums.

 

The image links to a blank page... Anybody have a working link?

Since I use Vallejo I use a drill and lead fishing weights as agitators.

This method, with tiny, TINY bb in the bottle works wonders if you´re on a budget

Definitely buying that vortex mixer.

I bought the smaller of the 2 vortex mixers. The big one seamed rediculous.

 

It seams to work very well, so far so good. It is literally strong enough to mix the basing texture paints... Has already saved a few things i thought were lost causes as well.
