THE QUICK TAKE

Is it right for you?

Buy it if you want to save a custom model-paint mix. A separate glass jar lets you label the color and keep it out of the original paint bottle.

Skip it for tiny one-off mixes you will use immediately. A palette may be simpler. The jar is empty, and its markings should not be treated as laboratory measuring equipment.

01 / BUYING NOTES

Before you buy.

01

Label the mix before storing it.

Record the paint colors and ratio on your own label. That makes it easier to reproduce the mix when the jar runs low.

02

Keep paint out of the lid threads.

Wipe the rim before closing the screw-on lid. Follow the paint manufacturer’s storage instructions; a closed jar does not make every paint or thinner combination suitable.

03 / SOURCES

What the sources say.

Tamiya identifies the container as glass with a snug lid and lists use with acrylic, enamel and lacquer model paints. The jar is sold empty for mixing and storing paint.

Manufacturer jar specifications · summarized

The listing identifies part 81042 and its nominal capacity. The product is the empty mixing jar, not a bottle of Tamiya paint; paint and mixing tools are separate.

04 / COMPARE

Match the job.

Use a lidded glass jar for a mix you want to store. A wet palette is for keeping water-based paint workable while painting; it is not the same storage container.
