Abstract

The cover assembly includes a lid dimensioned to overlie the open top of a paint can and having a spout for dispensing paint from the can. A closure assembly is also provided for selectably opening and closing the spout, and a paint stirrer is rotatably secured to the lid. An annular skirt extends downwardly from the lid and includes a portion which overlies the sidewall when the lid is positioned on top of the can. The skirt is compressed against the sidewall by a locking mechanism to thereby attach the lid to the can. A removable closure cover is provided for both the portion of the closure overlying the spout as well as a spout cover which overlies both the spout and the adjacent portion of the lid.
