Abstract: A painting stand for supporting articles to be painted. The painting stand includes a pair of bow members being for selectively supporting the articles to be painted. One of the bow members is operationally coupled to the other one of the bow members whereby the bow members are actuatable between a deployed position and a storage position. The deployed position is defined by one of the bow members is positioned at angle to the other one of the bow members to selectively support the articles. The storage position is defined by one of the bow members is positioned substantially adjacent to the other one of the bow members to facilitate storage of the bow members. A pair of extension members are operationally coupled to the bow members whereby each of the extension members extends from one of the bow members to the other one of the bow members. The extension members maintain the bow members at the desired angle when the bow members are in the deployed position.
