The present invention relates to a metal container or component part (1) of a metal container (e.g. a can end or sidewall of a can body), having an a perture (5) defined by a cut edge (6) about the periphery of the aperture, w ith a cover element (7) sealed to the outward-facing surface of the can end so as to extend over and cover the aperture. A film of lacquer (4) is direct ly applied (without the presence of an intermediate primer layer) to the inw ard-facing of the container/component part so as to coat the entirety of the cut edge and all or part of the inward-facing surfaces of both the can end and that part of the cover element located radially inward of the cut edge, thereby inhibiting corrosion of the cut edge. The invention is particularly suitable for can ends. The invention also relates to a method of making a ca n end to the invention.
