Abstract: A convertible painting assembly includes a paint roller pan, the pan having a removable partition wall extending transversely between sump and trough portions therein. A removable paint transfer roller is rotatably mounted between the partition wall and the rear wall of the tray. Paint is transferred from the sump of the tray onto a paint pad which is supported by a novel pad suppport and handle assembly. With the transfer roller in place, the assembly can be used to apply paint to a painting pad. With the transfer roller and partition wall removed, the assembly can be used as a conventional roller pan.
