ABSTRACT:
A cover assembly for a paint can having a tubular cylindrical sidewall, an open top and an outwardly protruding rim around the open top and in which the rim has a downwardly facing angular surface. The cover assembly includes a lid dimensioned to overlie the open top of the paint can. The lid includes a spout for pouring paint from the paint can. At least two spaced apart resilient locking tabs are attached to the paint can which automatically engage the downwardly facing annular surface of the rim as the lid is positioned onto the top of the paint can thereby locking the lid to the paint can. A release lever attached to each locking tab enables the lid to be removed from the paint can when desired.
