“I’ve tried a few different paint racks in the past but none of them were compatible with my Citadel paint bottles, so I was excited to find ProScale Hobbies’ racks. They fit my bottles perfectly and have made my painting process so much more efficient. The racks are easy to use and I love that they save space on my workbench.” – Tom S.

Exploring the different types of miniature paint racks available
Paint racks come in a variety of types, each with its own unique features and benefits. In this section, we’ll explore the different types of paint racks available and how to choose the one that’s best for your needs.
Compatibility with specific miniature paint brands
Some paint racks are designed to be compatible with specific brands of paints, such as Vallejo or Citadel. These paint racks often feature shelves or compartments that are sized and shaped to fit the containers of these brands, making it easy to store and organize your paints. These types of paint racks can be a good choice if you use a particular brand of paints exclusively, as they provide a tailored storage rack solution.
Tabletop paint stands and wall mounted paint racks
Paint racks can also be classified by how they are mounted or displayed. Tabletop paint racks are designed to sit on a flat surface, such as a desk or workbench. These types of paint racks are portable and can be easily moved around as needed. Wall-mounted paint racks, on the other hand, are designed to be mounted on a wall, saving space on the tabletop. These types of paint racks can be a good choice if you have limited space or prefer a more permanent storage solution.

- Keeps paints organized and easily accessible: A paint rack allows you to arrange your paints in an orderly fashion, so you can quickly and easily find the color you need without rummaging through a cluttered desk or workbench.
- Prevents spills and accidents: By keeping your paints contained in a designated area, a paint rack reduces the risk of spills or accidents that could ruin your project or create a mess.
- Saves space on the hobby desk or workbench: A paint rack takes up much less space than a collection of loose paints, freeing up more space for you to work on your models.
- Protects paints from dust and debris: A paint holder helps keep your paints clean and protected from dust and debris that could affect their quality or performance.
- Makes it easier to see and choose the right paint color: By displaying your paints in a visible and organized fashion, a paint rack makes it easier to see and choose the right color for your project.
- Allows for expansion as the collection grows: As you add more paints to your collection, a paint rack can be easily expanded to accommodate your needs.
- Can be customized to fit the user’s specific needs: Many paint racks are modular and can be customized with additional shelves, dividers, or other features to meet your specific needs.
- Makes it easier to keep track of inventory and restock as needed: By keeping your paints organized and visible, a paint rack makes it easier to see what you have on hand and what needs to be restocked.

A paint holder is a simple and effective way to add organization and professionalism to your workspace.
How to assemble and use a storage rack or wall mounted paint rack
Assembling and using a paint storage unit is a simple process that can help keep your paints organized and your workspace tidy. In this section, we’ll provide step-by-step instructions for assembling and using a paint holder.
- Gather your materials: Before you begin, gather the materials you’ll need to assemble your paint rack. Most paint holders are made of laser cut MDF (medium-density fiberboard) and come as a kit that includes all of the parts you’ll need. You will also need some white glue to ensure a secure and durable assembly.
- Assemble the paint rack: To assemble the paint organizer, simply follow the instructions provided with the kit. The paint holder should be easy to put together, with no special tools required. Some paint racks may use a pressure-based fixation system to hold the parts together, while others may require the use of white glue. If your paint rack includes white glue, it is recommended to apply it after you have assembled the paint organizers to ensure a secure and durable fit.
- Use the paint rack: Once your paint organiser is assembled, you can begin using it to store and organize your paints pots. Simply place your paints on the shelves or compartments of the paint rack, grouping similar colors together or using dividers to separate different types of paints. If your paint organizer has a removable palette tray, you can use it to mix and test your paints before applying them to your project.
- Maintain and care for your storage organizer: To keep your paint organizer in good condition, it is important to clean it regularly to prevent build-up of paint residue. A soft, damp cloth can be used to gently wipe down the shelves and compartments of the storage system. It is also important to store this hobby tool in a dry, dust-free location to protect it from damage.
Customization options for your paint stand module
Painting the paint rack to the client’s liking
Painting the paint shelf can be a fun and creative way to personalize it to your liking. If you choose to paint your paint stand, it is best to do so after it has been assembled. This will help ensure that the paint does not interfere with the fit of the parts or cause any damage during the assembly process.
To paint your paint rack, you will need the following materials:
- Acrylic paint: Choose a color or colors that you like and that will complement your workspace.
- Brushes: Select brushes that are appropriate for the type of paint you are using.
- Sandpaper: Use a fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges or imperfections in the MDF.
- Primer: A primer will help the paint adhere better to the MDF and provide a more even finish.
To paint your paint shelf, follow these steps:
- Assemble the paint rack: Assemble it according to the instructions provided with the kit.
- Sand the paint rack: Use a fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges or imperfections in the MDF. Wipe off any dust with a dry cloth.
- Apply a primer: Use a brush to apply a thin layer of primer to the paint rack. Allow the primer to dry completely according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Apply the paint: Use a brush to apply a thin layer of paint to the paint rack. Work in small sections, applying the paint in thin, even layers. Allow each layer to dry completely before applying the next.
- (Optional) Finish with a clear coat: If you want a glossy finish, once the final layer of paint has dried, you can apply a clear coat to protect the paint and give it a glossy finish. Allow the clear coat to dry completely according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Enjoy your newly painted paint stand : Once the paint has fully dried, your paint stand is ready to use! Arrange your paints on the shelves and enjoy painting miniatures of your collection!
TIP: Customize your paint set with stickers and stencils
This customization option allows you to add your own personal touch to your paint rack by adding stickers or using stencils to create unique designs or patterns. Stickers and stencils can be found at art and craft stores, or you can create your own using paper and scissors. Simply apply the stickers or use the stencils and paint to create the designs of your choice. This is a fun and easy way to make your paint rack one-of-a-kind.
Combining paint racks for maximum storage and organization (Vallejo, Citadel, Army painter…)
As your collection of paints grows, so does the need for efficient storage and organization. While a single paint shelf can be useful for storing a smaller number of paints, combining multiple paint racks of our modular system can provide even greater storage capacity and organization for your workspace. In this section, we’ll discuss the benefits of using multiple paint racks and provide tips for arranging and using them in a cohesive way.
- Buying the same model: If you are always using the same brand of paint bottles, you can simply buy additional paint racks of the same model to increase your storage capacity. This is a convenient option because it allows you to maintain the same style and organization across all of your paint stand.
- Buying other modules: If you want to increase the number of bottles supported but don’t want to buy multiple paint racks of the same model, you can consider purchasing additional modules or expansion packs. These are typically designed to be added to an existing paint stand to increase its storage capacity or add new features. For example, you might add a module with additional shelves or dividers to increase the number of compartments available for your paints. Or, you might add a module with a built-in light or magnifying glass to make it easier to see your paints. By using multiple modules, you can create a customized storage solution that meets your specific needs.

What should you look for when shopping for a Paint Rack?
With so many different types of paint stands available, it can be overwhelming to choose the one that’s right for your needs. In this section, we’ll provide some tips for selecting the best paint rack for your collection and workspace.
– Consider the size of your collection: One of the first things to consider when choosing a paint organizer is the size of your collection. If you only have a few paints, a small tabletop paint rack may be sufficient. However, if you have a larger collection, you may need a bigger paint rack or multiple racks to accommodate all of your paints.
– Consider the type of paints you have: Another factor to consider is the type of paints you have. Some paint holders are designed to hold specific types of paints, such as acrylics or oils, while others are more versatile and can hold a variety of paint types. Make sure to choose a paint rack that is compatible with the types of paints you use.
– Consider the available space: Before purchasing a paint rack, measure the hobby space where you plan to place it to ensure it will fit. Consider not only the width and depth of the paint display, but also the height if you plan to store tall bottles of paint. If you have limited space, a wall-mounted paint rack or a tabletop paint rack with a smaller footprint may be a good choice.
– Consider your budget: Paint organizers come in a range of prices, from basic models to more elaborate and expensive options. Determine your budget and choose a paint rack that fits within your price range.
