Abstract: A bifurcated paint roller (10) and painting method using such. The paint roller (10) is a hand tool having two roller portions (20), having a nap (160) for picking up and spreading paint. The roller portions are spaced transversely from each other and rotate independently of the other. A paint pan (50) includes two receptacle portions (54), each of which holds a paint having a different characteristic. A divider (56) separates the receptacle portions- The distal end of the hand tool includes an open-ended slot (22) for reception of the divider. Alternatively, the hand tool may include tubes (182) mounted thereon and feeding paint to the roller portions. A painting method includes the steps of applying a paint having a first characteristic to a surface, rolling the roller portions with paint having respective second and third characteristics across the surface, and pressing and removing a plastic sheeting (120) to the surface immediately after the painting steps.
