Abstract: A paint applicator is disclosed that employs a pair of elongated prongs, each prong having a roller end on which a paint roller is rotatably mounted, and a handle end that is movably connected to the handle end of the other prong. The prongs are spring biased in side-by-side relation with the rollers slightly spaced apart so that manually squeezing the prongs together enables one-handed flexing of the rollers against a section of railing to be painted. Sponge rubber rollers may be employed that conform to the shape of the railing.
