Abstract: A spout for a paint container having a retracted position with the spout resting within the volume of the container and an extended position with a portion of the spout extending through the top opening of the can. When retracted, the can is sealable with a friction fit lid in the rim channel, as is commonly used with paint cans, or the assembly may include a collar mountable within a rim channel that accommodates the traditional paint can lid. Regardless of the embodiment, the spout is held within the can proximate to the rim and can quickly move between the extended and retracted positions with a flange on the lower portion of the spout sealing against the annular collar in the extended position and tabs on the top portion of the spout holding the spout near the rim when retracted.
