Then, I highlighted the area just above the company name area of the label.  This area contains nothing but the background of the label.

I then copy, paste, and position it so that I completely cover the company name and locations.

The next step was to insert your own company name and locations.  the trick is to find an acceptable font.  I found this website a long time ago: http://www.1001fonts.com/ i found that the TGIFriday font has some of the same fancy characteristics that the rest of the lettering on the paint can label has.  So, I downloaded and installed the font.  Now to use it for the text i want to add. The first thing to do is select the color for the lettering.  There is a button in the Paint toolbar that allows you to point to any location in an image and "Pick Color".  So, i clicked on this button, moved the cursor to a beige area, and clicked again.  Now you can see that the color bar at the bottom shows this beige color as the active color.
