Hi,

 

I'm new to the hobby. I did get an airbrush and have been playing around with it. I'm wanting to try my skills at some car model kits for practice.

 

What is the best way to shake paint? I did search and i am not finding what I am looking for:

 

i did read about putting some bb's into each color and hand shaking.

 

i have seen the people using reciprocal saws and a clamp. ( I haven't found a clamp that will fit into the jaws of a jig or reciprocating saw) can anyone tell me what they are using and how to get it?

 

the robart paint shaker ( heard this does work, but can shake the lid off and oh what a mess).  How durable is the robart?

 

 

Wanted people to comment and suggest.  I have nerve damage in my arm from a work injury ( which is partly how I got into the hobby ) so shaking by hand for long periods of time isn't really ideal.

 

I do have a large pneumatic paint shaker (but i'd need to figure out a sabo system).
