Badger Paint Mixer

[sheppsea]

Does anyone who owns the Badger Paint Mixer (or similar product) know whether the head will fit into the following bottles?

• Ultimate Primer

• Vallejo Model Colour (obviously without the dropper in)

I have Mr Hobby and Tamiya bottles as well but don't have any issue with mixing those manually, but with the above I do think this will make it a lot easier as long as the mixer actually fits in the bottle, particularly the white primer

I have 2 oz and 4 oz Stynylrez Primers (same as Ultimate) it fits both, I think it will just reach the bottom of the 4 oz bottle.But I just shake those, I've recently started adding hematite beads.

It will NOT fit the 17 ml Vallejo Model Color bottles; at least not mine!

Thanks, that's really useful

I knew the primer was the same but didn't realise they came in the same bottle as well. Its a shame they don't fit in the Model Color bottles but I did think that was unlikely

On everything that is not open topped where i can just use a toothpick to mix i use these:

I use them too and am happy with them, just wondered in there were any other options, particularly for the Ultimate white primer as I do find that needs a lot of shaking beforehand (not a criticism, just an observation )

I run my Badger against a large file , it now fits inside Model Colour bottles no problem , took about five minutes in total . Hope this helps

I filed mine down a bit and it fits the Vallejo bottles... its tight but.. it gets in !

If I had the money ? I would dump those paints in Tamiya bottles and it would make my life a lot easier....
