Paint Bottle Label Tips

model paint bottles

I’m sure that I’m not the only one with old paint bottles with smudged or rubbed off label wording (e.g. color name). Although this is not always a problem, the bottles when smudged or dirty can all start to look the same.

One idea is wrap some clear carton packaging tape around the entire bottle to protect the label as soon as you get it home from the hobby shop. You could also write the date on the label before covering it with tape.

The other idea is brush a small dot of the paint on top of the lid. This will make it easy it easier to locate a color without needing to read the label.
