I’ve recently been using paper plates which are working pretty well. It’s very easy to hold them in one hand while painting with the other, and after I’m finished painting, the left over colors dry and I can re-use the plates again because the dry paint on them strengthens the plate. So each plate can be used multiple times. And, of course they’re super cheap!

I like your box. It’ll work well since you paint outdoors.
