i want to know if there is any proffesionel tool for mixing colors.

A toothpick :-)

Badger makes a battery operated that costs about $10. Yes i bought one works pretty good,just be sure to clean it before mixing other paints( #:-) ) Yeah i know I must be the ultimate consumer for buying one. Oh well #:-) !! Scott

thz you two but what is a poothpick?

Wooden thingy with a length about 5 cm, and diameter about 1.5 mm. Main-stream usage is to remove food residual between teeth. But commonly utilized by modellers for different use, such as mixing paints, applying glues, etc...

I heard a good one recently. If you have an adjustable speed drill or dremel etc., make an "L" shape with some fine wire and fix it in the chuck. On a slow speed stir your paint, holding onto the tin/jar/bottle with the other hand. Sounds reasonable?

I made a battery operated one w/ stuff from radio shack.

Mine came built in its called hands you rotate themas needed with any available implement that will fit. :-) sorry but buying fancy gizmos lowers my model spending limit.

thank you all but i mean somethin so i can have proportions

Testors makes pipe-ettes. They are clear soft plastic tubes with a bulb on one end. You put it in a bottle, squeeze the bulb and it draws paint into the tube allowing you to transfer the paint to another container. I cannot remember if they are graduated or not. I also use the small plastic cups that come in packs of 24 at Hobby Lobby. They resemble the plastic graduated dosage cups that come on cough medicine bottles (Nyquil, Dimeatap etc.) The last pack cost me $2.99. Is this what you are looking for?

I use similar, but a bit more dangerous, gadgets....... matches

thank you all guys. i'll try to find some and if i can't i'll tell you
