Dried paint may chip off into your paint, and collect in your paint lids.Ĭleaning paint out of the rim of the lids is dangerous. Although I find this strangely satisfying – it makes a mess. ![]() You’ll find yourself pulling off strips of dried paint from around the rims. ![]() Note that this is a particular problem with buying second hand Games Workshop paint – older paints are often not in good condition, with some paints being especially bad for it (Corax White – I’m looking at you.) Dried paint – a right bugger to clean This accelerates your paints drying out.īy comparison, basically all the Vallejo paints I’ve had second hand have been in good condition.

Dried paint – pots degrade over time ![]() In short – I don’t want to have to be careful when getting at the paint. If you are no especially careful at taking out paint, this dried paint will accumulate more quickly, No matter how careful you use you paints – this will happen.
