Having spent an hour in a traffic jam on the freeway this morning behind a Sherwin-Williams truck I was trying to figure out if this is possible?

Would a giant paint can suspended above the Earth’s equator actually pour out paint and cover the Earth?

I decided that yes it can.

Assuming that the can was truly suspended by some force and not actually in a equatorial orbit. Meaning that somehow the tremendous weight of the can was supported against the Earth’s gravity, such that if the lid is removed the paint actually would pour out and cover the Earth. I think the splash might even be realistic. The drips, however, are defying gravity.
