Assuming the paint tin is cylindrical, then the surface area of the cylinder would be the two circles (the top and bottom of the tin) and the circumference of the circle x the height of the cylinder.

Think about like this, if you cut open the tin and unfold it, you will get two circles and a rectangle. The side lengths of the rectangle are the height of the cylinder and the circumference of the circle.

So the equation should look like this:

2*pi*r2+h*2*pi*r

where r is the radius of the top of the paint tin, and h is the height of the paint tin.
