Wherever you store metal paint cans, they can rust and leak. I would at least place them in some type of plastic tray or storage bin to protect your cabinets and floors. I once had several paint cans stored on shelving in a basement. The bottoms rusted out and the paint ran all over the basement floor. I think that pouring the paint into heavy duty plastic containers is a cleaner and better way to go. My opinion.
