Expose a metal paint tray to enough water (or water-based paint) and it will rust. If the metal isn’t a thick enough gauge, the tray may dent or bend. The new Wooster Deluxe Plastic Tray solves these problems by pairing a completely rust-proof surface with industrial-strength construction.

Made in the USA, the tray is molded from copolymer polypropylene to form a thermoplastic resin that’s twice as strong as a homopolymer. Because of this, the tray maintains its durability, even in colder weather. It has exceptional impact resistance, and won’t become brittle as thinner plastics do when the temperature drops.

With a one-quart capacity and 11- inch width, its size and shape matches the best-selling Wooster R402 Deluxe Metal Tray. That means this plastic tray is also compatible with both the R406 Deluxe Tray Liner and biodegradable BR407 ECO Liner™.

The Wooster Deluxe Plastic Tray has an approximate retail price of $3.99 USD. Ask for catalog number BR549-11” at traditional paint and decorating centers, hardware stores, paint sundry distributors or retailers, and home centers.
