Abstract: The present invention relates to a sealable airtight cover that prevents any painting tools such as bristle brushes, paint rollers or any other painting tools, for example, airbrush guns, from drying. The cover is used when one desires to retentively enclose a wet bristle brush or paint roller and preserve the same ready for use later on. The cover is to be in sealed position by any means over a wet bristle brush or paint roller cover to maintain the material in a fresh condition and prevent it from drying. The cover is a quick closable airtight storing device made of a waterproof and solvent resistant soft material comprising a V-shape bag providing an enclosing pouch for said a bristle brush or a paint roller. The cover is to be attached tightly from one end to the handle of a painting tool such as a bristle brush or a paint roller and functions like a mitt during a painting job.
