Abstract: A splatter shield for connection to a conventional paint roller handle assembly includes a shield having a hemispherical top wall and parallel end walls for confining paint splatter or dripping during paint rolling. Opposing ends of the shield are releasably attached to the shaft portion of the paint roller handle assembly with one end of the shaft engaging a hub assembly releasably connected to an end of the roller pad assembly and shield. This structure allows for rotation of the roller pad about the longitudinal shaft axis. The splatter shield further includes an adjustment arm assembly having first and second arms, the first arm being centrally pivotably attached to the shield and second arm being pivotably attached to the handle.
