Filters for Paint

[Miatatom]

What do you use to filter your paint before you use it, be it for an AB or for brushing? Doesn't matter what type (enamel, lacquer, acrylic).

Real-car body-shop supply and paint stores have filters designed specifically for this. They used to give you as many as you wanted with every purchase of other materials.

Home improvement stores usually have filters too, but the mesh screen is looser for house-paint than it is for car / model paint.

I've also used material from discarded stockings / pantyhose (helps to have a female around) as a paint-filter medium. Nylon doesn't disintegrate in most solvents...but try it first before you commit to using it.
