About The Paint Brush Cover | Our Story

Our Beginning

The Paint Brush Cover was born from a common frustration: the time and hassle of cleaning paint
brushes between coats. Our founder, John, developed this innovative solution to save time, money, and
resources for painters everywhere.


Shark Tank Success
In 2014, The Paint Brush Cover caught the attention of ABC's hit show "Shark Tank." John presented the
product to the Sharks, demonstrating how it solved a universal problem for both professional painters
and DIY enthusiasts.


Lori Greiner saw the potential immediately and offered a deal, helping to scale production and bring The
Paint Brush CoverTM to painters nationwide. We were later featured on Beyond the Tank, one of only 12
companies selected out of thousands that have appeared on Shark Tank.


Media Appearances
The Paint Brush Cover has been featured on:

  • ABC's Shark Tank (2014)

  • Beyond the Tank

  • Good Morning America

  • Smithsonian Institute speaking engagements

  • Various industry publications and media outlets


Our Mission
At The Paint Brush CoverTM, our mission is to create innovative solutions that:

  • Save valuable time for painters

  • Reduce environmental impact

  • Extend the life of painting tools

  • Make painting projects more enjoyable

We believe that even small innovations can make a big difference in both professional results and
environmental responsibility.


Manufacturing
Our products are designed and manufactured in the USA and Vietnam, maintaining strict quality control
standards while supporting jobs and reducing our carbon footprint.
