Abstract: A paint saver device; a paint can rim cover defined by a semi-rigid composite body having a circular U-shaped cross-section configuration includes an outer-internal-vertical-wall for directing paint spillage into the paint can and includes the outer-external-vertical-wall to provide vertical stability for stacked the paint cans via the external-vertical-wall-extension and a top outer surface peripheral retention barrier situated to prevent relative movement between stacked paint cans. The paint saver device is structured and arranged to provide dual purpose retaining means for the paint can rim cover and biasingly fits over and about a paint-can-lid-channel.
