Looking for a carrying case for all my supplies.

I have been in search of a carrying case for all of my paints, brushes, etc. But i have not found one i am in love with if anyone has or knows where to find anything i am looking for a case perferably with wheels but at this point im not to picky.

Have you looked at the threads about the Stanley Fat Max? I love mine and you'll find it also works as a small table.

see i did find one of those i really liked i was just trying to see what everyone else used and any suggestions.

most of the people in the forum have really loved the fax max.
i use one similar... its from menard.. I think suzysparkles uses one like mine nd she even painted her;s

I just use a shoulder bag.. it doesn't have to be fancy

For small gigs/parties I carry my "on the go kit" in a shoulder bag exactly like the one Metina has in her shop. This kit is just a scaled down version of my working kit.

For larger jobs I will bring my full working kit which is housed in my Fat Max.

I use a purple and black metal make-up case which I love... but most make-up cases won't hold a pallet. I have a special backpack for my pallets.
There is a large rolling metal make-up case you can buy that splits off into sections and opens up in steps... but it's like $300 or more so it depends what you want to spend. I don't like the fatmax, mainly because it looks like a plastic tool box... which it is... and because I don't like to be hampered when I hit a flight of stairs.... which is alot.
If you would like to look at the cases I use and the big ones I can't afford let me know and I'll send you a link.
You can get amazing ones now that open with mirrors and lights etc.

I use a big tool box and 2 boxes that fit perfectly in my "Professional Face Painter" bag that I got from the FPF shop.

There is this site www.plasticase.com and we bought a portfolio case from there (actually you get your first "sample" for free). It came with customizable foam, and we just put velcro on the bottom and secured our paints that way. It is deep enough to have our paints on one side and our brushes, glitter, collapsible water container, misc. stuff on the other. I really like it so far. The Fat Max is also an awesome system, I just pack light because I hate anything heavy, lol!

Thanks everyone for all of your help, yeah cause what im using now is just 2 backbacks one for my paint things and one for my balloon tying things and i am an organized person like OCD lol. i was looking at a makeup case but that wont fit my paint palet i just made. Tash what is the one with lights and all that sounds awsome!

This is great! Did they charge you shipping or anything?

They did charge shipping, but it was totally reasonable, I think they are out of Canada.

Holy cow Tash! I hope your happy, now my pillow is all soggy.
