Abstract
A cover assembly is disclosed for a paint can for use with automatic stirring equipment. The paint can includes a tubular cylindrical sidewall and an open top. The cover assembly has a lid dimensioned to overlie the open top of the paint can, and a spout is formed on the lid. A paint stirrer is rotatably mounted to the lid and at least one locking foot removably secures the lid to the paint can when the lid overlies the open top of the paint can. The lid includes a plurality of resilient tabs which engage the outer periphery of the paint can around the top of the paint can to center the lid relative to the paint can.
