A paint receptacle apparatus comprising an open topped can having a first outwardly and downwardly directed flange attached to its open upper end and a lid having a second downwardly and inwardly extending flange engaging the first flange. The cover has a tube receiving opening having a cylindrical tube wiper received in it. The wiper has a cylindrical body received in the opening and an outwardly directed flange attached to its upper end overlying the lid and a first inwardly directed wiper flange and a second inwardly directed wiper flange receiving the tube of a paint gun. The wiper flanges each have a vent opening and a divider holding them apart. The flanges wipe the paint from the tube when the tube is removed from the can.
