ABSTRACT:
Paint is contained in a rectangular tray (10) and has provided at its surface a flexible membrane (13) having multiple openings (17), preferably of at least 5 mm mean transverse dimension. Paint is removed from the tray by sweeping the membrane with an applicator such as a roller. The membrane remains on the surface of the paint as paint is consumed. Preferably the membrane has (FIG. 5) the openings (17) confined to a broad central band with narrow imperforate marginal bands (51). The openings (17) lie in lines, or a matrix, which are inclined to the side walls (11) of the tray and which have apparent overlap when viewed along the membrane. The edges of the membrane may be downturned (FIG. 8) to form a paint reservoir for supplementary brushwork. The membrane may be sealed into the mouth (91) of a flexible bag (98) which is filled with paint.
