Metal Paint Cans

At The Cary Company, our selection of metal paint cans ranges from ¼ pint to 1 gallon. These metal paint buckets come in various finishes, including unlined, gold-phenolic-lined, and gray epoxy-lined, and are available with or without handles, bails, and lids to suit different packaging and handling needs.

The Cary Company offers both lined and unlined metal paint cans, each designed for specific uses. Unlined cans are ideal for solvents, oil-based paints, adhesives, mastics, and other non-water-based products.

Lined cans come with either gold phenolic or gray epoxy-phenolic lining. Gold phenolic lining offers a high barrier suitable for oil-based and certain solvent-based formulations. Gray epoxy-phenolic lining provides increased protection against corrosion, making it ideal for coatings and water-based or latex paints. Choosing lined containers helps prevent metal from reacting with contents, maintaining both product integrity and metal longevity.

Yes, our metal paint cans with lids are made from tin-plated steel, making them fully recyclable where metal recycling is available. Simply ensure they’re empty and dry before recycling.
