The Best Paint Trays and Buckets for Interior and Exterior Painting

Choosing a Paint Tray

As anyone who has ever painted knows, selecting the right tools (or the wrong ones) can make or break the project. Paint trays are no exception. Let’s get right to it:

Features to consider

• Size (nine inches wide is the most popular);
• Composition (metal or plastic);
• A sloped, ribbed surface to load paint or stain onto roller;
• Paint well capacity (pints, quarts, gallons, etc.);
• Ladder hooks.

Whether you’re working inside or out, paint like a master with these top-rated trays.
