Abstract
A cover assembly for a paint can having an open top and an inwardly extending chime is disclosed. The cover assemble includes a lid dimensioned to overlie the open top of the can and the lid has a spout for dispensing the contents of the can. Similarly, a paint stirrer is connected to the lid and extends downwardly into the paint can when the lid is secured to the paint can. A pair of locking feet are also provided detachably securing the lid to the paint can and each locking foot includes an elongated shank pivotally mounted to the lid and a laterally outwardly extending portion which extends under the paint can chime thus locking the lid to the paint can. Each locking foot, furthermore, includes a metallic inner core and an outer sheath constructed of a material which is non-oxidizable by water.
