Abstract
A pad attachment for a paint roller assembly including a pad holder affixed to a roller type paint applicator. The pad holder retains a paint trimming and smoothing material in a form of a fabric or foam. The material retained by the holder is positioned to smooth or otherwise treat the paint being applied by the roller during a painting application. In addition, the material may function to trim or 'cut in' at the interface of a surface adjacent the surface being painted. In an alternative embodiment, the invention may be part of a paint roller assembly having an adjustable splatter shield. The pad holder is integrally formed with the shield and is removably retractable and extensible along with the shield.
