This looks like it could be a useful thing: a touch- up paint roller with its own storage container. The idea is that you store leftover paint from a project in a Paint Buddy. Then when you need to do a touch-up, you whip off the cap, swipe the affected area, and hey presto! What I like about the invention is that you can see the paint in the container, so you know what color it is and whether it's gone moldy and gunky (like most of the latex paint stored in my basement). What I wonder about is how you remix pigment and solvent when the paint's been stored in the container long enough to warrant needing a touch-up. Are you supposed to shake the container like a milkshake?
