ABSTRACT:
A paint bucket, preferably cylindrical in shape, has a generally teardropped inner rim for decreasing sloshing and spillage of paint. Within one section of the inner rim is an inventive paint squeegee, of adjustable width, having a first fixed and a second removable side wiping section which may be adapted through a grooved, slideable adjustment to the width of any given paint brush. The squeegee further provides a horizontal face wiping section with a plurality of vertically arising teeth for removing excess paint from within the bristles of a brush. The bucket is provided with an adjustable, canted handle extending at an angle both over the top of the bucket and to one side so as to permit the bucket to be carried with minimum twisting force on the wrist of the user. An adjustable brush holder is shown for holding brushes of varying handle widths in a handle down, brush up position; such storage is practical because of the effectiveness of the squeegee in removing excess paint from the brush.
