00:00If you've ever spent 20 minutes mixing the perfect skin tone for a miniature, walked away to grab a coffee,
00:05and come back to a crusty little disk of dried acrylic, yeah, I feel your pain.
00:10That's exactly why I went down a rabbit hole testing wet palettes, and honestly, some of these cost less than
00:16a cup of that coffee.
00:17So here are my top 5 wet palettes for acrylic model painting, with the best deals I could dig up.
00:23Starting off with the classic portable wet palette, and this one's kind of the crowd favorite, nearly 5,000 sold
00:29and sitting at a solid 4.8 stars.
00:32What I like about it is the size.
00:35It's compact enough to sit right next to your cutting mat without eating your whole desk, and the lid actually
00:40seals, so you can close it up overnight and come back to paint that's still workable the next morning.
00:45At $4.22, this is basically an impulse buy that ends up saving you way more than that in wasted
00:51paint.
00:52Next up is pretty much the same form factor, but this version is rocking a perfect 5-star rating across
00:58almost 5,000 orders, which is not easy to pull off.
01:01The sponge and paper combo in this one holds moisture really evenly, no soggy corners, no dry patches, which matters
01:08a lot when you're doing thin glazes or blending wet into wet on a cloak or a cape.
01:12It's $5.38, so about a dollar more than the first one, and honestly if you paint often, that consistency
01:19is worth the extra buck.
01:21Now if you just want to test the waters without committing, this third one is the budget pick and it's
01:25kind of ridiculous.
01:28$2.95
01:30Under 3 bucks
01:32It's a straightforward tray with the hydration sponge and palette paper, no frills, but it does the one job it
01:37needs to do, it keeps your paint wet.
01:40Almost 4,900 sold and a 5-star rating tells me people aren't disappointed.
01:45Grab this one if you're brand new to wet palettes and just want to see what the fuss is about.
01:51Stepping up to the premium option, this one's $9.65 and you can feel where the money went.
01:57The build quality is noticeably more durable, thicker walls, a lid that clamps down properly instead of just resting on
02:03top, and it handles being tossed in a bag with your paints and brushes without cracking.
02:08If you take your setup to a game store, a paint night, or a convention, this is the one I
02:13trust.
02:144,600 sold, 4.8 stars, and it should genuinely last you years.
02:19And finally, my personal favorite for anyone who mixes a lot of colors, this is a 20-slot tray wet
02:25palette.
02:26Instead of one big open surface, you get 20 individual wells, so your reds don't creep into your whites and
02:32every custom mix stays exactly where you put it.
02:35If you're painting an army and you need that same base color session after session, this is a game-changer.
02:41$5.25, perfect 5-star rating, and honestly the organization alone makes painting way less stressful.
