Abstract
A paint roller guard assembly includes a paint shield adapted to support a paint roller, and a separate handle having a solid threaded mounting end which is received in a threaded connector formed on a side wall of the paint shield to attach the handle to the paint shield during use of the paint guard assembly for painting. The handle is removable from the paint shield to permit a water hose to be connected to the paint shield to supply water under pressure which is discharged through an elongated slot formed through the side wall of the paint shield to impact the paint roller causing it to rotate and simultaneously wash residual paint from the paint roller.
