Came up with an idea a couple of days ago. It works like a charm, so i thought I’d share with the community.
I mostly use vallejos colours and supplement with GWs metal (like them the most). But both should be shaken pretty well before use and we all know how annoying that piece of work can be.
So I bought some 6mm stainless steel nuts (like bolts and nuts) from the local hardware store. Didn’t really cost anything.
Put one in each of my paints, both GW and Vallejo.
Shaking the paint is faster and gets a much better result. And you can make some maracas music at the same time.
I do a similar thing with my Vallejo paints though I use a fishing weight called a split shot sinker (at least thats what we call them in the US) you can get bags of them cheap at the sports store and since they are not make of lead anymore they are safe to use.
Reaper sell their paint pots with a small skull already included, doing the same as your steel piece. It’s a small bonus when you finish a pot and open it ! Link to Dakkadakka

That is just awesome! Adding the skullfactor to your range of paints.
