8 Pack Empty Metal Paint Cans with Lids(1/4 Pint Size),1/2 Cup Capacity Touch Up Paint Containers,Paint Storage Containers for Leftover Paint,Tiny Empty Unlined Pint Paint Pails

Got these tin cans for dog training. I was honestly expecting something slightly bigger but that’s my fault for not reading the description which states they’re about 2” tall 2” wide.They get the job done so 5 stars. Anyone complaining they’re too small probably didn’t read the description just like me.

These small cans are excellent for remnants of hard to match paints, like a pool deck high quality acrylic latex, or for roofing or other watertight white or clear products made of silicone (high volatility, low shelf life, really expensive). Mostly I keep them filled with tough up paint for wall dings, pool deck gouges or other physical damage, and silicone repairs around leaky windows. They are inexpensive, when sealed they stay sealed, and come open with the standard can pry from paint stores. Best thing is they seal so tight that paint is still liquid, silicone is not a 1 inch rubber layer on the bottom of the can. Any paint “mixed” rather than off the shelf color, can be repaired using the same mix/shelf color. Use a thumbprint of the color on the top, and write the location of the paint job.

Got these to be able to keep a small amount of paint handy for touch up work on the walls.The metal is thin, but strong enough to do the job. I saw some reviews that said that the lids were bent after the first use. It comes with the little hook to prize the lid off when needed, you just have to be careful when doing so, unlike one of the big paint tins that can be opened in one go, if you carefully work your way around the lid opening slightly as you go, there will be no problem and you can reuse the lid time after time

I wish I would have paid more attention to the size because these cans are very small. I was not able to get much more than a 1/4 cup of paint into each. I was hoping for something larger but it was my error for not reading the description more carefully. Otherwise these cans work great and are a good idea for storing touch up paint.

The perfect size for saving my mixed oils for a painting I’m working on. These are great little cans. Highly recommend recommended.
