Spray bottle storage ideas
As I guess many of you will, I've accumulated a lot of spray bottles (QD, APC, tyre cleaners, glass cleaner etc etc) and they're currently all in the bottom of one of my cabinets which is a PITA to get them out, put them away again.
Maybe I'm just lazy but has anyone got/seen any kind of storage solutions anywhere? I do have some spare timber and planned to build a shelf across the back of my workbench but before I do anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks guys.

What I do is hang then by the trigger on my garage shelving. I have the gray closet maid shelving that can be purchased at Home Depot & Lowe's. See link below for an expample:

I've been trying to find a cabinet / bottle rack for some time now. One that's about 4" deep, would hang on the wall & has doors. That way I could store aerosol bottles as well as trigger sprayers.
I've seen the ones for race trailers, but don't want to drop $200 on a small storage cabinet. I've thought about just buying a standard wall cabinet, slicing down the sides & shelves & reattaching the back of it.
Anyone seen anything like I'm describing?

I store mine in milk crates. You can also find a milk crate style container at staples used for files that stack.

Nice bottleracks by Tachyon Motorsports
Check this link...
http://www.tachyonmotorsports.com/bottlerack.htm
I used to make these racks, but stopped due to low demand.  If there was a need, I could probably have a dozen or so made for the Autopia guys? I'd guess that this size would run around $200 or so, but if it was just powdercoated it could be significantly less (this was 1/16" thick stainless).
Let me know, drop an e-mail and we can work something out...

Based on gsxrgessler's post, his bottle rack was $200 for 12 holes (which I noticed griot's products sitting in it  ). 4 of the 3 hole racks will cost around $90 at griots. Given that they are just coated, not stainless...

All my stuff gets stored in my closet inside during the winter. Here's my setup right now. A few of my sprayers don't have enough room between the sprayer handle and the head to fit over the bar, so they have to stay on the floor.
My clothes hangers are on the other half of the bar.  And the latex gloves on the coat hangers are my QEW gloves.
