Disclosed herein is a roller for coating a curved surface. The roller includes a handle and a concave sleeve rotatably mounted thereto. The concave sleeve includes an outer surface that is curved inwardly. The concave sleeve can include an outer layer, such as a fibrous layer or nap, which defines the outer surface. The concave sleeve includes a core for supporting the outer layer and having means for mounting the concave sleeve to a handle, such as an axial passage defined by the core. The core can be formed of one or more components.

1. A roller for coating a curved surface, comprising: a handle; anda sleeve having (i) a cylindrical inner surface securable to said handle, and (ii) a concave outer surface;wherein said handle includes a rotatable mount, said sleeve is configured to receive said rotatable mount of said handle, said sleeve includes a core, and said core includes an inner core portion, an outer core portion, and a plurality of supports extending therebetween. 2. The roller of claim 1, including an enclosure element for inhibiting flow of paint between said inner core portion and said outer core portion. 3. The roller of claim 1, wherein said sleeve includes an outer layer defining said outer surface. 4. The roller of claim 3, wherein said outer layer is at least partially fibrous. 5. The roller of claim 3, wherein said outer layer includes nap. 6. The roller of claim 1, wherein said outer surface has a substantially constant radius of curvature. 7. The roller of claim 1 in combination with a curved screen for removing excess paint. 8. The combination of claim 7, wherein said curved screen has a first curvature and wherein said concave outer surface has a second curvature corresponding to said first curvature. 9. A roller for coating a curved surface, comprising: a handle having a shank, a rotatable mount, and an extension therebetween; anda concave sleeve including (i) an outer layer including nap and (ii) a core supporting said outer layer, said core having an axial passage therethrough for receiving said rotatable mount so as to securingly permit rotation of said concave sleeve;wherein said core includes an inner core portion, an outer core portion, and a plurality of supports extending therebetween. 10. The roller of claim 9, wherein said outer layer defines an outer surface having a substantially constant radius of curvature. 11. The roller of claim 9, including an enclosure element for inhibiting flow of paint between said inner core portion and said outer core portion. 12. A sleeve configured to be securingly received by a paint roller handle for rotation of the sleeve during application of a coating to an environmental surface, said sleeve comprising an outer layer formed of nap and having a concave outer surface and further comprising a core supporting said outer layer and having an axial passage for receiving at least a portion of a handle, wherein said core includes an inner core portion, an outer core portion, and a plurality of supports extending therebetween. 13. The sleeve of claim 12, comprising an enclosure element for inhibiting flow of paint between said inner core portion and said outer core portion. 14. A method of using a roller to apply paint to a curved surface: providing a roller including a handle having (i) a shank, (ii) a rotatable mount, and (iii) an extension therebetween and further including a concave sleeve having a core that includes an inner core portion, an outer core portion, and a plurality of supports extending therebetween;applying paint to an outer surface of the concave sleeve; andapplying the paint to a curved environmental surface by contacting the outer layer to the curved environmental surface and moving the handle, thereby causing the roller to rotate and apply the paint to the curved environmental surface. 15. The sleeve of claim 14, wherein providing a roller comprises providing an enclosure element inhibiting flow of the paint between the inner core portion and the outer core portion.
