Paint holder with 10 clips

Painting stand with ten clips

A stand fitted with ten clips that hold the parts prepared for spraying. Ten places mean that a whole series of small parts can be painted at once and, above all, that there is somewhere to put them down until the paint dries. Putting them down is the biggest problem when painting small parts, because fresh paint takes an imprint at a touch.

Use

• Holding small parts while spraying primer and top coat.
• Turning a part during application so that the underside gets sprayed too.
• Putting sprayed parts aside until the paint dries.
• Painting a whole series of identical parts at once, wheels or equipment for example.

Work tips

Clamp the parts by surfaces that will not be seen, that is, by mating edges or by a sprue nub. Leave enough room between the individual clips so that the parts do not meet when turned. Once the base coat has dried, check the places where they were gripped, as the coat tends to be thinnest there. Wipe dried paint off the clips after work, otherwise their jaws will stop closing properly. Stand the holder on a stable surface, as it tips over easily with ten clips loaded.

Who it is for

• Airbrush users who paint small parts.
• Modelers who paint whole series of parts at once.
• Anyone who keeps finding fingerprints in fresh paint.

For parts that cannot be gripped by a hidden surface, it helps to fix them to a piece of wooden skewer with double-sided tape and to clamp the skewer in the clip.

Keep the stand out of the reach of children and clean it after work.
