Abstract: A spin spray shield connected with a bucket to thereby assist the bucket to retain centrifugal paint spray when a roller is cleaned with a spinning tool, without detracting from the funtionality of the bucket for other purposes. The spin spray shield generally includes an annular shield member for being selectively located selectively substantially entirely above the mouth of a bucket to thereby serve as a shield for retaining spin generated paint spray within the confines of the interior of the bucket, and further includes a guide member located adjacent the side of the bucket for guiding selective movement of the shield member with respect to the mouth of the bucket.
