Straining/Filtering Paint

[Miatatom]

Lots of builders recommend straining or filtering paint before shooting it. Some paint companies recommend it too. How does everyone accomplish this, what equipment do you use, etc. TIA

Autobody and paint stores have giveaway disposable paint strainers. The filtering medium is fine nylon mesh. 

You can also use fine nylon cooking strainers.   Wash in lacquer thinner, never need to replace 'em.

If there's a female in your world, old nylon hose (stockings) work very well too. 100% free if there's a donor around. Rubber-band a section of nylon stocking to the top of a container, depress the center, strain away.

Actual paint strainers from my local Carquest do it for me. A box of 100 is under $10.
