Meet Billie

Founder & Inventor

In 2021, I had a small business refinishing and refurbishing furniture in my tiny basement studio. I quickly noticed the constant waste I was going through with plastic paint tray liners and knew it wasn't sustainable.

Naturally, I went to Amazon and Google to find a reusable paint tray and much to my surprise, nothing showed up.

So, then what?

It was like a spark went off in my head and I decided to jump on this opportunity that I felt like landed in my lap.

I filed my patent for the Repaint Tray, and that's when the journey began.

Listen to Billie's Story

Trust me. I get it.

I 1000% understand the frustrations (and fulfillment) of a DIY and painting project.

The supply list.

The prep.

The project itself.

The CLEAN-UP.

I had the same pain points.

Realistic Expectations

Being an ADHD entrepreneur mom who loves a challenging DIY project, time and attention spans are limited.

Started a painting project but your kid just woke up from their nap?

YEP. I've been there. 

Temporary "hacks" to save your paint with plastic garbage bags, plastic wraps, or ziplock bags just not cutting it?

I hear you.

Sick of throwing out painting supplies and wasting time and money running back and forth to the store?

Same. This was me. All the time.

I created the Repaint resealable paint tray and liner just for you.

We are environmental stewards. We value the land and waters around us and strive to reduce our environmental impact.

Teamwork -

We believe in lateral leadership. We work together with encouragement and help each other when needed.

High Quality Products

Our painting supplies aren't only sustainable, but tthey're made to stand the test of time.

We like to call it the Yeti of paint trays. The Repaint Tray's durable, sleek design makes it lightweight to carry with one hand, yet sturdy enough to stand the test of time.

Repaint Tray airtight lid

Think of it like Tupperware for your paint. The silicone lid fits snuggly around the Repaint liner and tray giving it an air-tight seal to keep your paint fresh.

Our reusable liners are tear proof. Maybe even bear proof. But fear not, if you do happen to damage your paint liner, we have a take back program.

While short, it's still impactful.
