Hey all,
I need a paint stand and organizer for my hobby table. Table is huge. Just need some storage and organization. Any recommendations?

I bought step stands that are sold as organizers for tattoo inks or nail polish. They are made from acrylic and were cheap if I recall.
I bought them on amazon, should be easy to find. I tried rotating towers and laser cut organizers and they were too awkward to be useful.

Heres an example: https://www.amazon.com/Collection-Multi-Tray-Essential-Organizer-Brochure/dp/B074QR5MHY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1518314552&sr=8-5&keywords=paint+organizer

Looking at the picture I'm dubious as to whether those acrylic racks will hold GW paint pots. It looks perfect for Vallejo's bottles though!
Edit: Nevermind, a quick browse through several of those racks found me one that would fit (a reviewer posted a picture of a GW pot on one of the racks). Sold!

I've been using self made trays out of Lego. Thanks for the link. I'll be freeing up those bricks now.

I made one that mounts on my wall.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0rGueIm1hkebFV6di14M09GQXM/view?usp=sharing
I used a sheet of 1/8" MDF and ripped it down to strips on a table saw then glued them down to another sheet of MDF. One strip sticking out to be the shelf and a another glued flat to be a spacer for the next shelf, then repeated multiple times. I also cut them on a slight angle (10 degrees of so) so that if the shelf started to sag a bit, the paint wouldn't start to slide off. Its lasted 8 years with no issues.

We have a large acrylic fingernail paint stand we found on Amazon. It works fine. Edit: It's like the one Red Corsair posted. Longer and fewer shelves, I think.

Similar to Spiderman above, but purchased from a local Beauty Supply Wholesaler. (the wall mounted ones).
I just took down some paints and such to ensure a fit for the different pots and bottles. Spidey's solution would be a lot cheaper, but mine is a lot easier. They have different shelf "types". Do as thou wilt!
