The present invention is directed to a paint roller bumper for a paint roller device. It is specifically for such a device which has a handle, an extended, curved rod and a roller. The curved rod extends from the handle with a lower portion extending directly away from the handle, a middle portion extending away from the lower portion, an upward portion extending from said middle portion in a direction which is at a right angle from a roller, and a top portion extending from the upward portion, as well as a roller rotatably mounted on the top portion of the rod. The bumper has a main bumper body with a lower section and an upper section and has adequate length so as to extend beyond the mounted roller on the described paint roller device when the bumper is mounted on an upward portion of a rod of such a paint roller device. It also includes attachment means, such as clips, connected to the main bumper body and adapted to attach the bumper to an upward portion of a rod of a paint roller device so as to establish an angle between the upper section of the main bumper body and the upward portion of the rod of at least 30 degrees, and, preferably, at least 45 degrees. In preferred embodiments, the bumper of the present invention may be unistructurally formed so that the attachment means and the main bumper body are cast or otherwise formed as a single unit.
