Paintcan - nice quality

The paint can has lots of layers. I separated everything - you choose what to cut. The ridges on the can will cut each on separately. You can cut them, or draw them after assembly. I kept the shadows in the SVG and colored them green so you can see them. There is a thin small highlight on the brush that I kept with the brush pieces. I think I colored it red so you can see it. You may want to re-arrange pieces to cut like colors together. Of course you can change the color of paint as desired!

P.S. Be sure to arch the Paint letters to help make the can look round.

NOTE: The SVG file needs more tweaking, so I've removed it just now. Will post when it is fixed up. If you need a paint can / brush, this is a great graphic!

Here is the SVG file. It's a tricky fit. I'm not certain which pieces to use and which to discard, you'll have to experiment. There are many layers and not all of them will be needed. You may want two layers on the can, brush, lid so that you can have one to give a black outline and the other for the color. The lines around the can did not cut well, so I removed them. Slow the speed down so fine points don't rip, but use enough pressure to cut through the paper.

I had trouble aligning the "drips". They didn't fit as I expected. So, this might be a little challenging to do, but I think it can be done with a little patience. If anyone cuts it successfully, please post a picture!
