Anyone use the Pro Acryl line of paints?
Trying to find a rack that isn't MDF. I hate MDF and my OCD says I need to organize these instead of them being all jumbled up in a drawer.

According to the internet, the pro caryl bottles are.30.5mm in diameter. GW pots.are 32 to.33mm in diameter, so the pro acryl.stuff should fit reasonably well in anything made for GW bottles.
Thingiverse has loads of free rack options if you can find a friend or a library with a printer.

Try Back 2 Base-ix paint racks and see if they suit your needs. They have a variety of styles to suit what ever works for you.
They make their racks in both Acrylic and MDF, I've got a few of their MDF racks and they are fantastic. I'd highly recommend them. I haven't used the Acrylic version, but i'd imagine the quality would be worth the cost.

Nail Varnish racks are generally more affordable. Paint racks for hobby paints are selling to a limited market so they tend to cost more; nail varnish racks are sold to customers and retailers and there's a huge market for them so their prices are lower.

Yup, nail polish racks are really where it's at. The hobby paint racks may be *prettier*, but the acrylic nail polish racks are so much cheaper and just as functional.

I also use a garage rack of "bits bins" to hold paint and other painting supplies.
Check the drawer width to make sure you can put four paint bottles in a smaller bin.

I accidentally bought a lipstick rack. Not good for paints, but works fine to hold brushes. Of course, there are also pen and paint pen holders which will also work.
