PAINT PORTER is an ergonomically designed hands-free paint carrier. Ergonomics is the applied science of equipment design intended to maximize productivity by reducing operator fatigue and discomfort.

Designed for professionals, it has attracted the approval of the homeowner do-it-yourselfer. During market research we were told over and over again, “I'm just a homeowner, but I’d buy one of those.” Painting with a paint bucket is tedious, and inefficient, as well as unsafe while climbing ladders or traversing scaffolding. A hands free paint carrier is long overdue.

The ergonomic design offered by PAINT PORTER leaps ahead of its competition, providing a whole new method for painting. The ergonomic placement of the paint receptacle on the chest, enhanced by a hinging and pivoting mechanism, keeps the paint out of the wearer’s way and level, yet the paint is always only inches away. Further, PAINT PORTER ’s unique oblong shape is compatible with the new lightweight rollers on the market. With the new larger diameter rollers designed for the “stick” roller handles, you can paint whole rooms with PAINT PORTER without the need for paint bucket or roller pan.

Self /continuous loading painting applicators have been around for years. Most of them don't require you carry the paint with you, and at the volume professionals work it would be no good. Professional painters tend to use sprayers for jarge areas, and still use buckets by hand.

Continuous loading painting applicators are clumsy and have limited value on ladders and tight spots. Sprayers are useless when cutting in with a brush. If these methods were so great then all the other methods would have disappeared. PAINT PORTER is a useful tool in conjunction with other tools.
