Abstract: The specification discloses a removable paintbrush wiper and apparatus holder which can be mounted on the inner rim and outer surface of a conventional paint can. Two outwardly projecting tangs (12L and 12R) supported by a pair of angled arms (20L and 20R), hold the device to a paint can. An elevated primary wiping surface (14) is used to unload excess paint on a paintbrush. Two secondary wiping surfaces (16L and 16R) at right angles in respect the the elevated wiping surface (14) are used to wipe excess paint of the sides of a paintbrush. A vertical surface dam (18) is used to divert subsequent paint residue, caused by the wiping action on the primary wiping surface (14), to flow back into the can. There is also a location for placing painting apparatuses called the apparatus holder (26) open at the top surface and closed on the sides and bottom. The apparatus holder (26) can also be used for soaking a paintbrush after usage.
