An apparatus for covering and cleaning a cylindrical paint roller pad includes a painting shield having a semi-cylindrical side wall; mounting means for rotatably mounting the pad so that the painting shield side wall is spaced from a first segment of the pad side wall with the longitudinal axis of the pad is coincident with the axis of curvature of the painting shield side wall; a rinse shield rotatable between a closed position substantially beneath the painting shield side wall and an extended position spaced from a second segment of the roller outer surface, the shields being spaced to form a water discharge gap when the rinse shield is in its extended position; and a water manifold to direct water against the pad. The mounting means may be a spindle with a secured handle, or a separate handle attachable to the painting shield.

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for covering and cleaning a paint roller pad having a cylindrical side wall, a given length, and a central longitudinal axis, said apparatus comprising: a) a painting splatter shield having a semi-cylindrical side wall with an axis of curvature and parallel end walls; b) mounting means for rotatably mounting said pad so that the said painting splatter shield side wall is spaced from a first segment of said pad side wall with the longitudinal axis of the pad is coincident with the axis of curvature of said painting splatter shield side wall; c) a rinse splatter shield having a semi-cylindrical side wall and parallel end walls, said rinse shield being rotatable between a closed position substantially beneath said painting splatter shield side wall and an extended position spaced from a second segment of said roller outer surface, said first and second segment having leading edges spaced from each other to form a water discharge gap when said rinse splatter shield is in its extended position; and d) a water manifold having a water inlet and a water outlet, said outlet directing water to contact a roller rotatably supported within said shields; and wherein said water outlet is covered by said rinse shield when said rinse splatter shield is in the closed position. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said mounting means is carried by the end walls of at least one of said shields. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, further including roller pad end caps attachable to the ends of said paint roller and rotatably mountable on said end walls. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, further including a handle attached to said painting splatter shield. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said water outlet is comprised of a plurality of longitudinally aligned holes parallel to said central axis and angled to direct water tangentially against a roller supported within said shields. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, further including a paint scraper detachably mounted on said painting splatter shield. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said rinse splatter shield has at least one intermediate position between said closed position and said extended position, and latching means to releasibly secure said rinse splatter shield at each of said positions. 8. An apparatus for covering and cleaning a cylindrical paint roller pad mounted on a rotatable spindle having a longitudinal axis and a handle substantially transverse to said longitudinal axis, said apparatus comprising: a) a painting splatter shield having a semi-cylindrical side wall with an axis of curvature and parallel end walls; b) mounting means for rotatably mounting said spindle so that the said painting shield side wall is spaced from a first segment of said pad side wall with the longitudinal axis of the pad is coincident with the axis of curvature of said painting splatter shield side wall; c) a rinse shield having a semi-cylindrical side wall and parallel end walls, said rinse splatter shield being rotatable between a closed position substantially beneath said painting splatter shield side wall and an extended position spaced from a second segment of said roller outer surface, said first and second segment having leading edges spaced from each other to form a water discharge gap when said rinse splatter shield is in its extended position; and d) a water manifold having a water inlet and a water outlet, said outlet directing water to contact a roller rotatably supported within said shields and wherein said water outlet is covered by said rinse splatter shield when said rinse splatter shield is in the closed position. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein one of said painting splatter shield end walls includes a handle retainer to secure said spindle handle relative to said end wall. 10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein said spindle handle is insertable into a slot in one of said end walls. 11. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein said water outlet is comprised of a plurality of longitudinally aligned holes parallel to said central axis and angled to direct water tangentially against a roller supported on the end walls of one of said shields. 12. The apparatus of claim 8, further including a paint extraction tool detachably mounted on said painting splatter shield. 13. An apparatus for covering and cleaning a paint roller pad having a cylindrical side wall, a given length, and a central longitudinal axis, said apparatus comprising: a) a painting splatter shield having a semi-cylindrical side wall with an axis of curvature and parallel end walls; b) mounting means for rotatably mounting said pad so that the said painting shield side wall is spaced from a first segment of said pad side wall with the longitudinal axis of the pad is coincident with the axis of curvature of said painting shield side wall; c) a rinse splatter shield having a semi-cylindrical side wall and parallel end walls, said rinse shield being rotatable between a closed position substantially beneath said painting splatter shield side wall and an extended position spaced from a second segment of said roller outer surface, said first and second segment having leading edges spaced from each other to form a water discharge gap when said rinse splatter shield is in its extended position; d) a water manifold having a water inlet and a water outlet, said water manifold comprising an injection moldable tubular section integral with said painting splatter shield and parallel with said central longitudinal axis, wherein said tubular section has a hollow interior, a closed lower end and an open upper end adapted for attachment to a hose at said water inlet, said outlet directing water to contact a roller rotatably supported within said shields; and e) a handle attached to said painting splatter shield side wall; and wherein said water outlet is covered by said rinse splatter shield when said rinse splatter shield is in the closed position. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein said handle includes forward and rearward braces. 15. The apparatus of claim 13, further including roller pad end caps attachable to the ends of said paint roller and rotatably mountable to the end walls of at least one of said shields. 16. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein said water outlet is comprised of a plurality of longitudinally aligned holes parallel to said central axis and angled to direct water tangentially against a roller supported on the end walls of one of said shields. 17. The apparatus of claim 13, further including a paint extraction tool detachably mounted on said painting splatter shield.
