People get worried about the mixing balls rusting, but we haven’t had any issues so far. We even added salt water to them to see if they would corrode, and the mixing balls stood up well to the test!
However, this can be used for more than just keeping paint in working condition. It’s also perfect for making your paint mixtures for miniatures too!
Mixing Custom Paint Colors
Rob uses this mixture of silver and gold all the time, so instead of mixing up the paint every single time he wants to use it, get the right mixture, throw it into an empty dropper bottle, add the balls, and shake! This will save you a ton of time over the long run, and these mixing balls are perfect for creating your own colors.
If you’re doing this for an entire army, this saves you a crazy amount of time.
