The handle consists of a shaft that retracts and protract from the frame, and a handle part with a built-in cradle to receive and hold a handle stick. The frame has a hook to hold a trimming brush and is rotationally attached at each side of the paint tray.

1 . A paint tray with integrated transport handle comprising
 the handle, a frame with a retractable handle;   the handle is further comprised of a shaft that retracts and protract from the frame, and a handle part with a built-in cradle to receive and hold a handle stick;   the frame is rotationally attached at each side of the paint tray;   a blocking means to hold the frame.   
   
   
       2 . A paint tray with integrated transport handle as in  claim 1  wherein:
 the frame has a hook to hold a trimming brush.   
   
   
       3 . A paint tray with integrated transport handle as in  claim 1  wherein:
 the blocking means is comprised of a frame retainer that retains the frame when it is in use;   a stopper and a frictional retainer to hold the frame in a perpendicular configuration in relation to the paint tray when in use;   a channel allows the frame to slide so as to move between storage position and in use position;   the channel having a stub which retains the frame to the paint tray.   
   
   
       4 . A paint tray with integrated transport handle as in  claim 1  wherein:
 a hide-away stand is pivotally attached to the sides of the paint tray.   
   
   
       5 . A paint tray with integrated transport handle as in  claim 4  wherein:
 the hide-away stand is “U” shaped.   
   
   
       6 . A paint tray with integrated transport handle as in  claim 1  having a method of use consisting in the steps of:
