Chili packaging

My friends and I have always loved making and eating chili. One of the cool trends we have started locally is to pack our chili into empty (never used) paint cans for transportation and temporary storage. It is very convenient and clean. My question is just how safe these cans are for food grade material such as chili. Before I let this idea get out of hand I figure I should check into it.

Any idea what metal the tins are made from?

If not, can you contact the manufacturer and find out?
