Abstract
A painting kit includes one or more paint pads and a paint tray. The paint tray includes a reservoir for holding a supply of paint, and means for transferring paint to a paint pad. In one embodiment the paint tray includes a rotating cylinder to transfer paint from the paint reservoir to one or more paint pads. In another embodiment, one or more paint pedestal surfaces are coated with paint from the reservoir in order to transfer paint to paint pads. Each of the paint pads and the trays includes features to selectively apply paint to the paint pad and to avoid applying paint to selected longitudinal edges of the paint pad. The lack of paint along the longitudinal edges helps to prevent paint from dripping or being forced from the longitudinal edge onto adjacent dry surfaces, and thereby enables a user to paint uniformly near edges while avoiding adjacent areas.
