This is a great idea for someone like me who has hundreds of those 2 ounces paint bottles and can never find the one I need at the right moment. I used the Michael's 50% off coupon and it cost 10 bucks. I hung it up in seconds and filled it in minutes. I used the large pockets at the bottom for glues, which are in larger bottles. The great part is that you can actually see the labels. When I have an OCD moment, I'll sort the colors out and go from light to dark. I'm going back to Michael's for another one because they are not that wide (14 inches) You could easily fit 2 on a 32 or 36 inch door, I think. It's the door in my garage/workshop leading to the boiler, so it doesn't really ever get used. Highly recommended, if you have the proper setting. link |

Looks like a useful aid to remaining organized. Thank you for sharing! |

I prefer the spinner from Michael's that holds something like 120-160 bottles. I paint the lid of the bottle the color of the paint so I know what it looks like and then write the number of the paint on the top with black marker. That way I can see what the paint looks like when dried and use the color number for reference. I don't know if they make that spinner any more as I got mine probably 12-15 years ago. |

No, they don't make them any longer. i own 4. I fill them all up. Mine hold 80 per side. That's 160 per rack. I am setting them up on my new painting table in the new house. |

Damn, that's bad news. I kind of need one more. No space on my table for a second one so I guess I'll go Plan B for now. |
