Abstract

A paint roller support member for use with a paint tray, the tray including substantially coplanar front and rear ends, a paint well adjacent to and below the rear end for storing a supply of paint, and an inclined surface tapering upwards from the well to the front end for rolling excess paint off the roller. The tray and the roller support member coact for supporting at least one portion of the paint roller above the well and with the paint roller handle resting on the front end of the tray thereby allowing excess paint from the roller to drip back into the well.
