Paint can be poured out of a 5 gallon bucket.
It is difficult to pour a bucket of paint without causing a mess.To cut down on spills, install a specialty spout on the lid.Once the paint is mixed, add the spout and pour it, either by a store representative or at home with a drill-operated paint stirrer.
The paint lid has a screw cap on it.A larger version of the cap and spout on an orange juice carton is covered by the screw cap.Purchase a replacement lid if the lid doesn't have a capped hole.
If you purchase a replacement lid with a pull-out spout, you don't need to add another spout.After the spout is pushed down inside the lid, it is covered with a cap.
Attach the spout to the threaded hole on the pail lid by turning it clockwise.Make sure the spout slopes toward the nearest part of the rim's lid.
The paint pail should be lined up so the spout points downward.If necessary, twist the spout.Allow gravity to pull the paint down the spout and tilt only a little at a time.
