Store Open Paint

Glass jars are great because they are less likely to allow the paint to dry out and you can always tell the color of the paint inside. To ensure the paint doesn't seal the lid on and to further the air tight seal, run a couple layers of Teflon tape around the jars threads before putting the lid on.
