Abstract: An apparatus includes a paint holder configured for utilization with a paint applicator, in which the paint applicator has an applicator-engagement feature. The paint holder has a paint-receiving zone configured to receive paint therein. The paint holder has a vertically-extending side wall, in which the vertically-extending side wall surrounds, at least in part, the paint-receiving zone. The paint holder has a holder-engagement feature configured to selectively engage with, and selectively disengage from, the applicator-engagement feature of the paint applicator.

Abstract: An apparatus is for a paint roller. The apparatus includes a paint-receivable tray. The paint-receivable tray includes spaced apart peripheral lateral sidewalls configured to extend toward and contact a working surface once the paint-receivable tray is placed on the working surface. The paint-receivable tray also includes spaced apart peripheral end walls configured to extend toward and remain spaced apart from the working surface once the paint-receivable tray is placed on the working surface. This is done in such a way that the sliding resistance of the paint-receivable tray is reduced, at least in part, once the paint-receivable tray is urged to travel along the working surface.
