paint cans
Pigment storage vessels
Paint cans are metal containers designed to hold paint, typically cylindrical with a friction-fit lid that seals tightly.
They come in standard sizes—quarts, gallons—and require a flathead screwdriver or opener to pry open.
The phrase sometimes appears in descriptions of clutter or storage: The garage was full of old paint cans.
In graffiti culture, paint cans refers specifically to spray paint cans.
