Paint Mixer Tools & Accessories

What’s in this collection

When you need consistent paint flow and smooth coverage, the right paint mixer makes all the difference. This collection brings together the tools hobbyists and artists rely on to keep their paints fresh, uniform, and ready for perfect application — whether you're working on miniatures, scale models, canvas projects, or airbrush art.

Inside this category, you’ll find stainless steel mixing balls from AMMO by MIG and The Army Painter, ideal for restoring separated paints or improving the behavior of thick formulas. You’ll also find compact electric tools like the U-Star Electric Paint Blender, designed to save time and arm strain when working through multiple bottles in a session.

The idea is simple: no matter what you paint, a reliable paint mixer helps achieve consistent color, smoother thinning, and predictable results every time.

Benefits, uses, and practical tips

Keeping your paints properly mixed is one of the easiest upgrades you can make to your workflow. A good paint mixer ensures pigments and binders stay unified, so your paints behave exactly as they should from the first drop to the last.

Here are some practical ways to get more out of the tools in this collection:

• Stainless steel mixing balls for long-term improvement
Adding a steel ball to your paint jar acts like a built-in shaker. Just a few seconds of shaking dramatically improves color consistency and reduces unwanted grainy textures. This is especially useful for miniature paints or modeling acrylics that tend to settle quickly.

• Use two balls for heavy pigments or metallics
If you work with metallics, high-density pigments, or thick primers, placing two balls instead of one helps break up settling faster and mixes more thoroughly.

• Electric mixers save your hands
Tools like the U-Star electric blender are perfect when you’re working with many jars at once. Instead of shaking each bottle manually, simply press and blend. Your wrist — and your time — will thank you.

• Improve airbrush reliability
A well-mixed paint atomizes better and clogs less. Whether you use AMMO, Vallejo, Golden, Createx or any other brand, a proper paint mixer reduces troubleshooting and keeps your focus on the art.

• Great for restoring old paints
If you have paints that haven’t been touched in years, drop in a mixing ball and give them time. Often, a neglected bottle can come back to life with the right agitation.

• Perfect for hobbyists, kitbashers, and artists on any medium
Whether you're painting 1/35 armor, Warhammer armies, D&D miniatures, fantasy busts, or custom models, keeping your paints well mixed is one of those “quality of life” habits that immediately elevate your results.

Why these tools matter

Even the best paints separate over time. A high-quality paint mixer keeps your workflow efficient and your colors reliable. No more guessing when thinning, no more surprises when you go to layer or edge highlight — just smooth, predictable paint every single time.

If you care about consistency in your art, these tools belong on your desk.
