ABSTRACT:
A paint container and brush holder made as a unitary mold structure having a built-in paint brush holder compartment and a stationary handle, and at least one tilted side brush holder wall with a bottom with lower paint drain holes. A lower paint reservoir with a substantially opened top may have four or three joined walls and a bottom. With three joined side reservoir walls, a triangular configuration is formed while the four side walls version forms either a rectangular or square configuration. In either embodiment paint from any stored brush in the brush holder compartment drains through lower compartment holes into the lower reservoir. Tilted walls in the brush compartment may be used to rest the brush against them or to wipe off any excess brush paint which then gores into the brush holder's drain holes. A pour spout molded into the intersecting walls of the reservoir, allows any unused paint to be put back into its original shipping paint can after work is completed. By storing and transporting the paint and its paint brush with this unitary structure, there is a lessen chance for paint spillage during transport.
