PAINT CONTAINER
A paint container comprises at least one plane side wall and a lid having a plane inner side and being attached to the plane side wall by means of a hinge and means preferably in the form of a handle for maintaining the lid in a position in which the inner side thereof forms an extension of the plane side wall so as to form a surface on which a paint roller may be moved up and down to uniformly distribute the paint over the cylindrical surface of the paint roller.
