Tom Pasinski had always been artistic and enjoyed developing creative solutions to problems. So, when he started his own painting and faux finishing business, he realized that paint trays were messy, time consuming, and all around aggravating.
Tom wondered, “Why should people put up with this mess?”
He tapped into his creative talents and set out to create what is now known as the Paint Glider®.

As development of the Paint Glider® progressed, he considered not only the workability and efficiency of the product but also continuously balanced form and function with aesthetic appeal to fully satisfy the consumer’s experience.
During the Paint Glider’s design and testing phase, the prototype of the current patented design won the Grand Prize in Hammacher Schlemmer’s National Search For Invention Contest. Over the course of the next decade, Tom perfected and developed the Paint Glider’s design.
The Paint Glider is like an art piece. The beauty in the lines and curves of its shape draws people to it… it is my Mona Lisa.”
-Tom Pasinski
The Paint Glider® holds U.S. and international patents.
Today, the Paint Glider is a revolutionary and innovative product preferred by both home and professional painters and is approved by 96% of the Handyman Club of America members.
Tom and his team aim to make conventional paint trays a thing of the past by providing economical alternatives so consumers may paint in less time, with less mess and no stress.
By cutting painting time in half, the Paint Glider is truly “The New Shape of Painting!”
