1. Sectionable painter's cups for protecting an object while painting, each of the painter's cups comprising:

a main body having a first surface and a second surface;

the first surface and the second surface being constructed of a non-absorbent collapsible material for blocking liquid from contact with the object and a bottom portion having inner-marginal positions and wherein an inner-marginal position of the first surface is provided with a closing member that attach to a cooperating closing member on the bottom portion of the second surface and the non-absorbent collapsible layer being in a collapsed state when compressed in a downward position from the object;

the second surface being attached to an object-facing pocket containing a flexible material allowing for a cup formation of each of the painter's cups and for attachment to the object;

wherein the closing member of the first surface and the cooperating closing member on the second surface are formed in such a manner that they are located on a linear plane and are depressed toward one another in face-to face relation to cover the object;

the main body having sides with vertical perforations providing joining areas between each of the sides of each of the painter's cups extending vertically along the sides to define a segment of each of the painter's cups for covering the object;

wherein each of the painter's cups is provided in a rolled up configuration and arranged in a uniformly spaced parallel relationship and is removable from each other at the perforations and wherein the perforations form a tearable strip extending along the sides of each of the painter's cups.

2. The sectionable painter's cups of claim 1 , wherein the object-facing pocket of each of the painter's cups allows each of the painter's cups to be adjusted on the object.

3. The sectionable painter's cups of claim 1 , wherein the object-facing pocket of each of the painter's cups allows each of the painter's cups to be removed from the object.

4. Sectionable painter's cups for protecting an object while painting, each of the painter's cups comprising:

a main body having a first surface and a second surface;

the second surface being attached to an object-facing pocket containing a flexible material allowing for a cup formation of each of the painter's cups and for attachment to the object;

wherein the closing members of the first surface and the cooperating closing member on the second surface are formed in such a manner that they are located on a linear plane and are depressed toward one another in face-to face relation to cover the object;

the main body having sides with vertical perforations providing joining areas between each of the sides of each of the painter's cups extending vertically along the sides to define a segment of each of the painter's cups for covering the object;

wherein each of the painter's cups is provided in a rolled up configuration and arranged in a uniformly spaced parallel relationship and is removable from each other at the perforations and wherein the perforations form a tearable strip extending along the sides of each of the painter's cups;

wherein a lower peripheral edge being adapted to receive an adhesive surface thereon for placement of each of the painter's cups thereon.
