Paint Rack Calculator

Modern hexagonal Citadel pots measure about 34mm across their widest (corner-to-corner) and 43mm tall. The hex shape needs a wider slot than a round dropper, so commercial Citadel racks (GameCraft, RaffosLAB and others) are cut for a 34mm hole. A 34-35mm hole or slot clears the pot comfortably.

Vallejo, Army Painter, Scale75 and AK 17ml dropper bottles are all the same family: about 26mm diameter and 78mm tall with the cap. Dedicated dropper racks use a 26mm hole. They are narrower but much taller than Citadel pots, so a rack for droppers needs taller tiers or deeper wall-mounted slots.

Tiered racks sit on your desk and angle paint pots back so you can see labels. They use more desk depth but are portable. Wall-mounted racks save desk space but need wall fixings. Choose based on your available space.
