Paint is any liquid, liquifiable, or mastic composition which after application to a substrate in a thin layer is converted to an opaque solid film.
Paint is used to protect, preserve, decorate (such as adding color), or add functionality to an object or surface by covering it with a pigmented coating. An example of protection is to retard corrosion of metal. An example of decoration is to add festive trim to a room's interior. An example of added functionality is to modify light reflection or heat radiation of a surface. Another example of functionality is the use of color to identify hazards or to identify the function of equipment and pipelines.
As a verb, painting is the application of paint. Someone who paints artistically is usually called a painter or artist, while someone who paints commercially is often referred to as a painter and decorator, or house painter.
Paint can be applied to almost any kind of object. It is used, among many other uses, in the production of art, in industrial coating, as a driving aid (road surface marking), or as a barrier to prevent corrosion or water damage. Paint is a semifinished product, or intermediate good as the final product is the painted article itself.
Paint can also be mixed with glaze to create various textures and patterns. This process is referred to as faux finish and is quite popular with discerning homeowners, architects and interior designers.

Krylon Make It Acid-Free! Spray, 6-OunceReviewsThis is a great product for scrapbookers like myself who enjoy preserving trip mementos other than photos. For example, if you visit a city and pick up a street map, or if you save a brochure from the hotel you stayed at, you can use this spray to make them acid free. Then you can add them to your scrapbook pages without concern that they will make your entire page eventually turn yellow. I've been using for several years and have yet to see any yellowing on anything I've used it on. Tips for Use: The spray is easy to use, just like spray paint. Just make sure you find a ventilated area to use it, or take it outside to let the fumes dissipate. I suggest saving a giant piece of cardboard to use again and again under your documents. This will protect whatever floor or table surface you're spraying on, since this spray does leave a bit of a white residue. I bought this product to preserve newspapers that have historical significance. If you have ever watched a newspaper clipping turn yellow over time, it is due to the acidic quality of the paper. This product is essential if you wish to preserve these important works from yellowing or aging. I found that the 6oz size is more economical than the 3oz, and will usually cover up to 20 full-size newspaper pages. I would suggest using a pH testing pen first on your document to determine whether it needs treatment with this product, as some paper has a neutral pH. Average Rating:  |
