Is there any interior paint that might flake off or is the interior shiny metal? Does anyone have any experience with this particular can vs galvanized and painted cans?

Mine has "rustoleum-like" dark red paint on the inside, which seems durable.

There is a coating/paint that is fuel resistant. I would assume that the coating is better than shiney metal that might corrode from moisture in the fuel.

As others have said there is a coating inside the can. I have not noticed any flaking of the material (I do check every once in a while) but I cannot say for sure if will flake or not. I do have a few dents in some of the cans but the lining is still intact but YMMV.

I have only had this item for 6 months but there are no rust marks on item or on door. This would only normally happen when there is moisture near a coated item (like using it in the shower or bathroom). I have my item inside a corner closet near the front door. Also, the paint is not marred on the door where I have it hanging. I have about 6 coats hanging on it so it is holding up well.

Hello. I have the brushed stainless steal version. Ours is metal. The description for the white one says "metal", so I think you'd be safe to assume it is metal. And like the previous answer to this question, this trash can is very very small. All gallon milk jug will not fit inside it, if that helps any. I works fine in our bedroom... after moving from the bathroom and ordering a larger one for the bath. lol

I thing the interior walls are coated just like most. It seems to be Glossy white paint. It does clean easy.

I actually painted my with interior paint and they look awesome. If you plan on them being left outside use exterior. But interior will work if your putting them in a garage or building for storage

It is steel but appears to have some type of coating. Not plastic though. There is no plastic in the interior at all. It almost feels and looks like a Teflon type coating. Very thin coat that I'm sure is meant to prevent rust.

Hey Fred, as I mentioned in my review I only recently used the product for the first time. It generally takes a while for painted-over rust to start bleeding through, so I cannot vouch for the permanency of the application. But the job turned out beautifully, and it was a good bet for me, because installing a new door would have been many times the cost of the Plasti-Kote. There are a few users who have uploaded to YouTube their Plasti-Kote jobs; perhaps you could reference one of them.

It's very heavy duty, and it seems to be painted well, but it is steel. If the paint gets chipped, it will start to rust. How long it lasts will be a direct result of how well you take care of it. If you keep the scratches covered (repaint them) so it can't rust, then it should last a very long time.

The inside is not coated. Also, the paint does not hold up very well against solvents. Any drips or spills while filling this with solvents will cause the paint to lift and peel around the full cap. If you are looking to spray a water based liquid I would get a plastic sprayer.

I love this can. I had original for 6 years and just got the 2nd for recycling. I would say that maybe the staninless would be better than the plastic. My dog tried to chew open the plastic lid and it has left not-so-nice marks... would maybe be less apparent on the stainless.

Technically, I think you would be OK. This stuff not only converts the rust to an inert material, but it produces a thick, hard black coating on the 'non-rusty' parts. However, if the goal is to preserve the metal as long as possible, I would still prime and paint with a high quality enamel paint. I am using ift to refurbish an old BBQ and it is working very well.

I have only used the Briggs & Stratton, and have no complaints with it.Any plastic can is subject to warping from expansion/contraction due to weather conditions, especially if you store it somewhere not so climate controlled. The bottom of mine is no longer perfectly flat. This aggravates a brittle friend of mine, and he buys only metal gas cans - for a substantial amount more than the cost of a plastic can. I reiterate that a plastic can of any brand has this flaw, and I remain satisfied with the one I ordered. If you're storing large quantities, long term, it may be worthwhile to pay up for a metal can, but if you're just keeping a couple of gallons seasonally, this one is fine.

from what I have experienced, the gas turns red and the rust seems to come thru, or is still living beneath it.. I used a radiator shop, they did a serious chem bath and coated it with an crazy sealant..looks perfect.. $110, if you want to make it perfect.. I had the option to leave it bare metal inside..

Hello, Randy here. Interesting question about the magnetism. I have a pretty powerful magnet and it would not stick to ant part of the pail. as for the rust jury is still out.I haul mine from the barb to the chicken coup so its inside most all the time. No rust yet. Hope this helps. Over all its a nice pail. Take care. RANDY

Hi Susy, I just looked at an empty can, and it looks like just the metal. It's not white inside. However, they don't say on the can they're not using the dangerous estrogen-mimicking chemical that has been used in can liners. If you do a search on their product, there are likely sites who would have a better answer.

I'd say it is semi-permanent. Meaning as long as you prep the metal with a primer to stop rust ,it should last a long time. Caveat...until someone starts to peel it off. Then it will come off quite easily. I'd use a good quality paint instead.

I think you have to use Rust-Oleum brand cans as the spray head is designed to fit in the cart. The good news is there is virtually no wasted paint. We sprayed a grid and used 20-25 cans. They were completely empty.
