Aluminum Metal Paint Palette
I recently put the Aluminum Metal Paint Palette to the test to see if it could actually handle the wear and tear of a busy studio. Unlike the cheap plastic trays I usually reach for, this metal version promises a more permanent solution for color mixing.
Performance & Build Quality
Constructed from lightweight aluminum, this palette feels sturdy and is surprisingly resistant to the staining that plagues standard plastic models. Its metal composition means it handles warm water washes effortlessly, allowing you to remove even stubborn, dried-on acrylics without damaging the surface.
Day-to-Day Experience
Using this palette is straightforward, and the variety of shapes and hole configurations makes it easy to organize a complex color palette. It stays firmly on the desk while mixing, and the cleanup process is significantly faster than dealing with the scrubbing required for plastic palettes.
This is the perfect upgrade for students and professional artists who are tired of replacing cracked or stained plastic palettes.
Final Thoughts
With an overall rating of 4.33/5, this palette is a solid, practical addition to any artist's kit. At $24.44, it strikes a great balance between premium durability and everyday functionality.
