I bought new lids for my foundry paints from here:
https://www.theplasticbottlescompany.com/shop/product/cap-20mm-tamper-evident-flip-top-white/

BOOM!! That's the very badger, you get a cookie for that, but I'll have to wait until I need shed loads, because otherwise the shipping will be more than the lids themselves!

This kind of thing would be really good.

see Mindenbrush's post above yours - links to a guy's blog who's produced v. comprehensive vallejo triad samples  / lists. Can't vouch for them as such, but they look great work superficially.

Bloggard - I use black undercoat. The layering issue with Scale 75 might be the same challenge I find with reds so leaving the base coat to really dry might be the answer for me.

Redzed - I have some of the Scale 75 metallics ................. and will be buying more when my GW Boltgun Mtal finally runs out.

With the "difficult" Foundry colours I find that a lot of shaking does help and provide better coverage - I have always had problems with the 45 Deep Brown Leather triad but longer shaking has improved it.

interesting on the shaking front, but by gum, I don't think I could have done much more, either by hand, or using one of those motorised jobbies, than with those of mine I tried ...

Shipping for me was a touch painful but I had too many split pot lids not to do something.  For some reason I seem to be hard on them.

I'll have to sort out all the rest of my paints but it's something that I will get 'round to doing.

I have pondered buying some Foundry triads and asked a couple of high level painters at my club for their opinion. One said a flat no, the other pointed to a bin and suggested l put my money straight into it and cut out the middleman!
