What Customers Are Saying

The product is generally seen as a useful tool that can help save time and effort when painting, especially around edges, ceilings, and moldings. Many found it lightweight, easy to use, and effective at keeping paint where it's supposed to be. However, some felt the product was too flimsy and lacked the necessary sturdiness to maintain a straight, consistent line, with the material prone to bending or sagging. There were also a few reports of the product breaking or not working as intended. Overall, the reviews suggest the product can be helpful, but its quality and effectiveness may be inconsistent.

Does not properly block paint drippage

Would Not Recommend

Does not effectively work for its intended purpose. Pain gets behind the shield, so defeats purpose of purchase.

To flimsy

Once it get a little paint on it, the ends will sag whe trying to cut in around crown molding. This leaves a 1/4 line, between the shield and molding, that’s unpainted. Not good!

Hate it

Would Not Recommend

Professional renovator: the shield is too thin and it flexes, warps, and bows. it is not a good piece of equipment and has about 12" of usable surface.

36" Paint Paddle

Would Recommend

Debated between the plastic paint paddle as I call it or the metal paint guide. It worked out great for painting my wooden shed and keeping the paint where I wanted it. The metal guide was a lot sturdier than the plastic one. The paint that accumulated on the paddle was able to peel right off after it dried, making cleanup a snap. Love the product. Great value for the money! Phil

Good product... makes job a little easier

Would Recommend

This is a good product and helps keep over sprays at a minimum. Can be a little flimsy but works well for the most part.

The Edger

Would Recommend

Last one I had was plastic this one is metal . The metal one was easier to keep clean from over spray. If you are spraying you need this edger makes the job so much easier and faster. The only problem I had into and this was not the fault of the edger was my ceiling was popcorn texture. So in places where the popcorn was uneven as it met the wall caused me a little touch up.

Best invention ever!

Would Recommend

Whoever invented this paint guard was a genius! We have even used it for spray paint. No over-spray at all. The best part is that it covers a large area, so you don't need to keep wiping and moving. In fact, we didn't have to wipe it off at all. No paint accumulates at the edge at all. We have just purchased a home and have used this paint guard in every room, except the very first one that we painted (before we found this gem at Lowes) and boy, what a time saver! Can't recommend this tool enoug...

Shield broke off at handle after only a few uses!

Would Not Recommend

I purchase Alot of products from Lowes exclusively but, after my purchase of your painter's shield I am extremely disappointed and am thinking about seeing what type of products Home Depot or another home improvement store have to offer...?

Its a metal paint shield made in china

Would Recommend

It is light weight and it does the job. If your a pro, this may be a bit light-duty. My rec to anyone painting in general is to carry several wet rags in their tool pouch and also carry some dry paper towels. This way you may eliminate slight errors and also keep the leading edge clean so it does not cross contaminate the color you are trying to avoid. So for the price it a good deal.
