A spill and splash resistant safety paint bucket for supporting and transporting paints or other liquids is disclosed. The safety paint bucket includes a container for supporting the paint or other liquid and a self-closing lid constructed to be removably attached to the container. The container includes a belt clip attachment and shoulder strap attachment buttons so that the safety paint bucket can be attached to a belt or harness, or carried on an attached strap by an individual while maintaining both hands free to perform other tasks. The lid includes a fixed partition, a spring loaded flap, and a spring. When a brush or other applicator is inserted into the container through the top of the lid, the downward pressure applied to the brush or other applicator compresses the spring which allows the spring loaded flap to pivot away from the fixed partition. The opening thus created allows the brush or other applicator to reach the liquid contained below. When the brush or other applicator is withdrawn from the safety paint bucket, tension applied to the spring loaded flap by the spring urges the spring loaded flap to pivot toward the fixed partition. As this occurs, excess liquid is scraped from the brush or other applicator by the spring loaded flap. When the brush or other applicator is fully withdrawn from the opening in the lid, the spring loaded flap snaps back into contact with the fixed partition and the lid is again closed.
