Hi, have you found your answer of what to use to store your excess paint?

Google shows me that many choose air-tight plastic buckets. However, they are mainly bought online and delivered from overseas. Due to their volumetric weight/size, the delivery fee is much more expensive than the buckets themselves.

Therefore, I look forward to your answer.

I use Milo tin.

Use the ones..u takeway noodle bowl(tupperware) .it have cap on it..

Then write the name on the tupperware.

U want can use ziplog bag to protect it.

I remember some H***fix got paint mixing services, you can ask them if they will sell you the empty containers. Or any paint shop that have mixing services, they must have new paint containers.

To also not: some painter will add water when painting, if the paint is too thick. Hence, If you intend to store the remaining, let the painter know that you will store for future use, don't add water into those stored paint.

store room outside house

Problem after storage - the paint tends to have very pungent smell and when you try using these again, the smell lingers on for few days
