Abstract: A paint bucket comprised of an open-top-end container. A lid is engageable over the open-to-end. The lid is provided with attachment brackets on an inner surface thereof for the retention of one or more paint applicating implements. A slot is formed in a top end of the bucket for accommodating passage of a paint roller connecting rod whereby a wet paint roller may be held inside the container connecting rod and handle extending outside the container to maintain the wet roller in an enclosed area to prevent the wet roller from drying, when not in use.
