A paint roller apparatus with bar and brush facilitating the painting of a surface (70) that lies adjacent to another surface that is not to be painted contemporaneously. The apparatus comprises a roller cover (58), a bar (22), a brush (28), and a handle (20). Brush (28) is affixed to bar (22), and bar (22) is connected to a bar arm (34) that is rotatably mounted on handle (20). Bar arm (34) can rotate between a paint loading position and a paint application position. In the paint loading position, bar arm (34) is rotated away from roller cover (58) about an axis that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of roller cover (58). Said roller cover can then be immersed in paint without getting any paint on bar (22). When bar (22) is in the paint application position, substantially perpendicular and adjacent to the longitudinal axis of roller cover (58), said roller cover may be placed in contact with the surface to be painted (70) and painting may begin. A brush (28) of predetermined size, shape, and stiffness is mounted onto bar (22) such that the bristles, or other paint application portion of the brush (28), angle into the edge of the surface to be painted (72) and extend to the edge of the surface to be painted (70), but not onto the adjacent surface (74). In operation, roller (58) applies paint up to a short distance from the edge of the surface (72) and brush (28) then takes some of the paint on the surface (70) and applies it up to the edge (72).
