Re: [DIY] Paint Cans

Ron, any idea if the paint would be fine if the plastic containers are clear?

Those plastic coffee containers work well. In fact any use plastic food container with a lid would work, if the opening is big enough for the brush.

Subject: [DIY] Paint Cans

I need to find containers to put paint into. Old cans have become rusted, hard to open and then of course flake the rust into the paint once you get it open. Gosh forbid, paint companies actually invest some thought or spare some expense more on a better paint can than they do a wall full of paint chips stamped with food names.

Any tried and true ideas that will keep the paint sealed and keep at least the same amount of harm from weathering? I see that they actually sell new paint cans for less than a dollar but I'm hoping to either buy something or use something of a different material....a good plastic or the like.

Thanks.
