That would be great, I would think. But, is Sherwin Williams truly eager to live up to
their motto, and cover the earth? If they do, then they would want to retool to make
one size can of paint in that size range--5 liters--for US domestic consumption as
well as for export. But, what about those US agitator machines which blend paint? Are
they adjustable enough to accommodate a 5-liter can instead of a 3.8-liter can? These
are the issues which will have to be tackled by a future US Metric Conversion
Administration.
