A paint applicator, kit and methodology for using the same is disclosed. For example, paint applicator that allows a user to load a desired amount of paint, such as a water based other low VOC paint, into the paint applicator and an advancement mechanism that dispenses paint at a rate controllable by the user is disclosed. The advancement mechanism can include system that translates a rotational force applied to an end cap of the applicator into a linear that advances a piston which in turn applies paint to an applicator portion. The paint may be reusable or may include a ratchet system that allows for only one time use. methodology and kit can incorporate a syringe for loading paint into the paint applicator, reducing the loss of paint through spilling.

A liquid cover system comprising a vessel, a brush, and a hose, which efficiently applies liquid cover to a surface. The system includes an upper chamber and a lower chamber separated by a flexible diaphragm, which are pressurized by a handle connected to a pump body to force liquid cover through an outlet and the hose to the brush. The brush includes a pliable tube held at a slight angle towards one edge of bristles, to efficiently apply liquid cover to trailing edge bristles. The brush is secured to a handle, which includes a lever for controlling paint flow and a threaded outlet, and a sliding dovetail connection provided by a top joint and a bottom joint.

A manual painting device (brush/roller) allows surfaces to be coated continuously without the brush or roller having to be dipped manually in order to be loaded with paint. The kit can be mounted on a trolley/structure for transport or can be used in a backpack with a tank connected to a pump and from which the paint flows automatically, conveyed through a hose to the applicator element (brush/roller), such that the applicator element is loaded automatically from inside the painting accessory itself.
