Abstract
Abstract A spring loaded detachable pad component is carried in a small hand held housing and can be extended for charging with paint. The housing has an angulated guide and a stop against which the bristles of said pad engage thus holding them clear of the guide and preventing paint from being picked up by the guide during use.
