I've been doing something like that for a long time, but I use those
plastic bags from the grocery (and everywhere else). I put the tray
inside the bag and then with the judicious use of a piece of masking
tape turned on itself, sticky side out, I can even make the corners
behave. I do it 'cuz I'm bone lazy and hate to clean up more than I have
to after painting. And as a military wife, I've done a bunch of painting
over the years <LOL>

Take a piece of plastic (half a garbage bag will do nicely), and lay
it across the roller pan. Push the plastic into the “corners” of the
roller pan as best you can-—won’t fit exactly, of course since the
plastic is 2-dimensional and the roller pan is 3-, but it isn’t
critical. Now you may want to take a bit of masking tape and gather
the plastic **outside** the pan at the corners (folding it down over
the lip of the pan as you do so). If it it cumbersome, cut off excess
** outside** the pan beyond about 3 inches.
Pour in your paint. And paint. When you are finished, gather the
edges of the plastic and whatever paint is left will be in the center
of the little “bag” you just made. Hold it over the paint can and cut
a slit in the bottom. The excess paint can be reclaimed and your
roller pan is already clean.
