ABSTRACT:
A replacement bottom for a bulk paint container is disclosed in which a drain valve is mounted above the lowermost extent of the container portion so that the bulk paint container can be picked up by a forklift in any one of four directions. The bulk paint container has a body with an inner bottom wall and an outer bottom wall and has a synthetic filler in the area between the inner and outer bottom walls. Leg members are bolted to the body and are formed of a single piece of metal that is folded upon itself to form a polygonal leg. In addition, the outer side wall of the bulk paint container is formed from a single piece of metal that is folded upon itself to create a polygonal member. The drain valve is bolted to the inner bottom wall and is easily replaced. The replacement bottom is welded to the top of an existing bulk container, preferably at two weld points, one inside the container and one outside the container.
