A paint spray shield for manually protectively covering a portion of a wall or ceiling when the adjoining ceiling or wall portion, respectively, is being spray painted, comprising:

• a generally flat, elongated sheet of thin, flexible material having a straight longitudinal distal edge, one side of said sheet defining a working surface against which spray paint is collected when said distal edge is held against a flat surface;
• an elongated handle pivotally connected at one end to said flat sheet at a mid point of a second longitudinal edge of said flat sheet opposite said distal edge;
• said handle pivotally movable and extending from said second edge generally within a plane defined by said flat sheet;
• locking means between said handle and said flat sheet for releasably maintaining a preselected acute angle between said distal edge and said handle;
• wherein said locking means comprises:
• an elongated, threaded fastener passing transversely through a mating handle aperture in said handle spaced from said handle pivotal connection;
• said handle aperture in alignment and registry with an arcuate slot formed in said flat sheet whereby said flat sheet may be rotated about said handle pivotal connection and secured at any desired orientation by tightening of said threaded fastener.
