Thanks Paul,
I just put my Dykem can in a plastic bag.

I pack all my spray cans in 5 litre ice-cream containers.
These plastic containers are about 20cmX20cmX15cm high.
It keeps the cans form falling over. It also contains the leakage
if any can springs a leak. It further allows me to sort them
according to colour or other criteria. I can carry the hole
bundle to where I work and pick the most appropriate can
for the touch-up or other job. It also helps to get rid of the
nearly empty ones first.
I also store woodwork oils, turps and other plastic and glass
bottles in such containers. It keeps the liquid form soiling the
wooden shelves. Thinners melts some of the plastics so use
a 5 litre metal oil can with the one side removed for those.
Some plastic 5 litre cans will resist the thinners long enough
to allow it to evaporate.
This also works for cooking oil, vinegar etc bottels. in the kitchen.
Here I prefer to use the 2 litre ice cream holders.
Surprise your wife - it keep the shelves clean and prevents
the bottles form falling over.
