![]() ![]() Lori asks if the trio has tried to sell to companies like Lowe’s or Home Depot, but Sal says at the current moment, they are working on selling to Wal-Mart. They actually went to 3 stores this morning, and all 3 of those stores purchased units. Robert asks how Paint Brush Covers are all sold, and Sal explains that they started off selling from door-to-door in an old-fashioned sense, and nobody said no. Retailers then sell each Paint Brush cover for around $2.99. Each unit costs $.41 to make, and they are sold for $2 to a retailer. Nearly 50% of that revenue has come in over the course of the past 3 years, John says. Kevin asks how many Paint Brush Covers have been sold, and so far the trio has sold 17,000 units for a total of $35,000. It’s the same idea as tupperware if you put paint in a tupperware container and leave it on a shelf, properly sealed, the paint will still be in liquid form when you open it months later. Robert says that he is finding hard to believe that the solution for saving your paintbrushes is so simple, but Sal says that the plastic container stores close to 100% humidity. They even have a brush with them that they’ve carried all around their travels, and it’s still wet. Robert asks if that is true, and the trio says that they have tested it for a period of up to 3 months at a time. This can easily save any painter hundreds a year in money. Sal admits that maybe the Sharks have seen something like it and maybe own something like it, but they came up with it since the Paint Brush Cover has a unique, airtight design, they can store paint brushes for weeks at a time without worrying about the brush drying out. Sal admits that he thinks they have revolutionized the painting industry with just a piece of plastic, and they finally reveal exactly what The Paint Brush Cover is. However, through the years, one thing has bothered them the most, and anyone who paints can relate that there is never a convenient location or time that you can set the paintbrush down to take a call, drive your children somewhere, or anything else without causing the paint to dry out or get ruined. Not just canvas paintings, but big room paintings and even murals, too the three are professionals. John starts with his story between the three of them, the trio has over 60 years in painting experience. ![]() Sal and John DePaola, brothers, and Anthony Caputo all represent The Paint Brush Cover created by Likwid Concepts, and have come to the Shark Tank seeking $50,000 in exchange for a 10% stake in their company. ![]() Parts pictured were printed on Prusa mk3, at 10-15% infill (gyroid), 0.20mm layers, using a mix of hatchbox, matterhackers and esun PLA.The Paint Brush Cover on Shark Tank Sal DePaola, John DePaola, and Anthony CaputoĪ trio consisting of two brothers and a family friend have just stepped into the Shark Tank.
