Abstract
A paint dispensing system including a container having a moveable piston contained therein wherein a paint containing area is defined between the piston and a portion of the container. A dispenser extends through an opening formed in the piston and by moving the piston against paint contained within the container results in paint being forced into the dispenser where the paint moves through the dispenser and through the piston to an outlet where the paint is dispensed.
