A paint mixing container comprising:

• a main body of circular cross-section with a base, side walls and an open top, wherein said base is a cone having an apex at the center of the base and sides sloping downwardly to join with the side walls of the main body;
• a stirring arm comprising a rotatable central shaft having a longitudinal axis with a helical blade rigidly mounted to the base thereof by a lower mounting member mounted about said central shaft, said helical blade extending upwardly and outwardly from said lower mounting member to smoothly connect said helical blade to said lower mounting member, said helical blade extending upwardly about said central shaft for one complete revolution of the shaft, the upper end of said helical blade being attached to said central shaft by an upper mounting member extending toward and encircling said central shaft, said upper mounting member comprises a radial tab engageable with a notch provided in said central shaft, said notch engaging said radial tab through an aperture carried by said radial tab;
• a removable cover for covering the open top of said main body having a sealable opening and means to rotatably support said stirring arm in the interior of the main body, said main body further including a pouring spout formed alignable with said sealable opening in said removable cover;
• locking means to allow said removable cover to be removably attached to the open top of said main body;
• wherein said locking means comprises a channel formed about the periphery of said removable cover having an inwardly directed flange;
• and a correspondingly formed lip about said open top of said main body to interfit with said channel, said flange of said removable cover being adapted to engage and hold said lip in order to releasably hold said removable cover atop said main body when said cover is press fitted over said main body;
• and
• an independent sealing cap for fitting over said sealable opening in order to seal pouring spout.
