The disclosure is directed to a fill sleeve for protecting an outer surface of a syringe from exposure to a liquid when filling the syringe with the liquid. The fill sleeve includes a sidewall extending between a first open end and a second end having an end wall. The end wall and the sidewall define an interior volume of the fill sleeve. The end wall is provided with an opening configured to form a seal with a fill site of a syringe when the syringe barrel is inserted within the interior volume of the fill sleeve. The seal prevents the outer surface of the syringe barrel from being exposed to a liquid when the fill sleeve and the syringe are lowered into a liquid, such as paint. The configuration also allows for a preferred filling position that minimizes filling pressures, force, and fill time in comparison to prior art designs.
