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 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....
