Abstract: A paint tray assembly for use with a paint roller includes a pan. The pan has a top that is open so that the pan is configured to position paint. A first plate is coupled to and extends transversely from an upper perimeter of the pan. An edge of the first plate is distal to the pan and elevated relative to the upper perimeter. The first plate is configured to direct excess paint from a roller to the pan. A rod is coupled to and extends transversely from a lower surface of the first plate proximate to the pan. A lower terminus of the rod is substantially coplanar with a bottom of the pan. The rod is positioned to stabilize the pan on a substantially horizontal surface. The rod also is configured to be grasped in a hand of a user to lift the pan.
