While mixing some paint today I noticed some small bits that didn't mix. This brought me to the thought of 1:1 painters using a cone shaped filter similar to the looks of a coffee filter to strain their paint. Anybody know of a similar thing for hobby use? Something suited for the size of airbrush paint jars? Where might I find something like it? Anybody use something like this? I'd hate to blow these little bits onto my paint job but I also don't want to strain out any pearl flakes.

Thanks for the link. I figured someone had dealt with it. Sounds like some old panty hose will do till I can get some pick up tube screens.

I bought some full size cones like you mentioned and I think they were 12 micron?  I'd have to look the order up.  I use them for straining clear.  I made a stand to hold the filter so I can pour into the filter and down into my airbrush cup.
