Do you have any suggestions for getting my can of paint open and storing it for future use?

One of the most useful tips we give our customers is how to properly open a paint can so it can be resealed correctly and your remaining paint stays fresh.

In the video below, we show you how to properly open and close a KBS Coatings paint can. Because our products are shipped, there is a chance that paint can get between the can and lid — making the lid harder to remove than a typical latex paint. This is actually a sign of superior adhesion: KBS Coatings paints bond far more aggressively than standard latex paints, which is why proper opening technique is an essential first step.

The video also covers how to use KBS Paint Saver — a proven paint preserver that keeps paints, coatings, and clear coats from skinning over in the can. KBS Paint Saver is environmentally safe, extremely easy to use, and allows long-term storage of leftover paint in the original can — so you can make the most of every drop.
