Does anyone know if there's any specific reason that paint cans are opaque? I prefer to put paint into 4 1-quart clear buckets from Ace hardware rather than leave it in the can. But I've noticed that companies that sell in plastic jugs (i.e. Dutch Boy) still have opaque ones, though that may be intended so that people don't assume that the wet paint color will be the same once it's dried. Right now I've put some Varathane in clear buckets, but am wondering if I should put it in quart cans instead - i.e. does light damage the product?
