TIL that mixing paint by weight instead of volume saves me real money

I had a buddy over last week who used to manage a paint shop in Tulsa. He watched me eyeball a gallon of custom color and just shook his head. Said I was throwing away maybe 15 percent of every batch to overpouring and spillage. I thought he was full of it until I tried his method with a cheap kitchen scale. Took me two test batches to dial in the ratios, but now I mix exactly what I need for a job, no more guessing. That extra can of leftover tint I used to buy every project? Gone. Has anyone else switched to weighing their mixes, or am I late to the party on this one?
