Product Information

Full details

This 4-inch plastic paint roller tray is designed for both DIY enthusiasts and professional painters seeking efficient and consistent paint application. Its primary benefit is providing a stable and convenient surface for loading rollers, ensuring smooth, even paint distribution and minimizing the need for frequent refills thanks to its deep reservoir. A minor limitation is its suitability primarily for smaller rollers, making it less ideal for very large surface areas that require 9-inch or 10-inch rollers.

The trays are available in various pack sizes, including packs of 1, 3, 5, and 10. Please select your desired quantity.

Is the plastic material safe for prolonged paint contact?

What are the dimensions of the 4-inch tray?

While the specific outer dimensions may vary slightly, the primary design consideration is its compatibility with 4-inch paint rollers and its deep reservoir for paint.

Can I reuse the tray after cleaning?

Yes, the tray is designed for multiple uses. Proper cleaning after each painting session will extend its lifespan and maintain its performance.

What is the primary benefit of the ribbed rolling area?

The ribbed rolling area helps to distribute paint evenly onto the roller, ensuring consistent coverage on your walls or surfaces and preventing dry patches.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not distributing evenly on the roller.

Ensure the roller is properly loaded onto the ribbed area of the tray. Roll back and forth to pick up sufficient paint. Check that the paint is not too thick; consider thinning slightly if necessary.

Tray feels flimsy or unstable.

Ensure the tray is placed on a flat, stable surface. While durable, excessive force or uneven pressure can cause instability. Check that no part of the tray is damaged.

Dried paint is difficult to remove.

Soak the tray in warm, soapy water for a short period before attempting to clean. Use a plastic scraper or stiff brush gently to avoid damaging the tray.
