    Abstract: An apparatus that enables an individual to make custom paint colors with out handling the paint cans during the colorant dispensing and mixing operation. This is achieved by a system that mechanically removes the lids of gallons and quarts, then dispenses the correct colorants into the selected paint base, reseals the lids, and then mixes together the paint and colorants. All these steps take place in a single chamber. Selected gallons or quarts are inserted onto a duel level platform. Each level fits the base diameter of the two sizes. The cans are gripped by a groove engaging their bottom seams. The cans are lowered and raised by the platform for lid removal and lid resealing,—using vacuum heads which have chamber holes for lid attachment and then finally mixing. After colorants are dispensed into the cans from above, the platform lowers for the Mixing process.
