paint buckets

Coating storage pails

Paint buckets are cylindrical containers, typically made of plastic or metal, used for holding and transporting paint.

They come in standard sizes, with one-gallon and five-gallon being most common for household and professional use.

The design usually includes a wire bail handle and a lid that seals tightly to prevent drying.

We filled three paint buckets before starting on the exterior walls.

In digital graphics software, the paint bucket is a fill tool that floods an area with color.
