GeeBee Posted September 11, 2020 Posted September 11, 2020 I love Testors paint, but when there stored in my tool cabinet, it's impossible to see what colours are where, so I spent a little time putting a small blob of paint on each lid, problem solved....
Snake45 Posted September 11, 2020 Posted September 11, 2020 I've been doing that for 20 or 30 years. If I'm airbrushing the color, I'll airbrush the whole top of the cap the color.
SCRWDRVR Posted September 11, 2020 Posted September 11, 2020 I do that too, it's definitely easier then sifting though the bottles to figure out whats what....
JohnU Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 Just did the same thing except I used a round white sticker label on the lid first. Some of the darker colors kinda disappear against the black lid. Also added the paint ID number as well.
Deuces ll Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 Yep! I have a couple of sheets of the white dot stickers.

Not just for Testors - I've been doing something like that for years. Of course with Humbrol or Tamiya there is no need to do that. Pactra used to also show the paints color and its name on the caps.
BlackSheep214 Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 I use color dot stickers as well - yellow for acrylics, blue for enamels. White or orange for metallizers and detail washes. Since a majority of them are military colors, I label each dot the color name along with the FS number (Federal Standard number).
