Abstract
A paint tray assembly includes a ladder clamp to secure the tray to a ladder or scaffold and magnetic holder and swing-away rod providing mechanisms for retaining paint brushes in the tray. A detachable handle attaches to the tray to permit relocation of the tray from one area to another minimizing the possibility of unwanted spillage of paint from the tray.
