If you want to save leftover paint, it is important to store it properly. Proper storage will ensure that it is still usable when you need it. This is a guide about saving leftover paint.
When you are done with a small glass jar with a screw lid, wash both pieces well and dry. The next time you have a paint job before putting the lid on the can, pour some into your little jar and store it.
When it's time to do a little touch up or small repair you can easily grab the right jar by the color. It's very easy to mix up and you don't need to lug out the big can and do all that tedious mixing!

To be thrifty with my storage space, I save the leftover paint in a small gladware type container rather than the large paint can.
