Does anyone know where to purchase those small empty can so that i could pour it over and keep them? Pls adviseHi, have you found your answer of what to use to store your excess paint?Google shows me that many choose air-tight plastic buckets. However, they are mainly bought online and delivered from overseas. Due to their volumetric weight/size, the delivery fee is much more expensive than the buckets themselves.Therefore, I look forward to your answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hence, If you intend to store the remaining, let the painter know that you will store for future use, don't add water into those stored paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
