A paint can rim cover attaches to a grooved annular rim of a paint can. The rim cover is an annular cover with concentric inner and outer cylindrical walls and an intermediate cylindrical plug extending from the bottom surface of the annular cover. An inner fin extends outwardly from the bottom of the inner cylindrical wall and an outer fin extends inwardly from the bottom of the outer cylindrical wall. When attached, the plug substantially fills the groove and the fins engage inner and outer edges of the rim.
