Paint is a substance used as a final finish on all surfaces and as a coating to protect or decorate the surface. Paint is a colored opaque material that completely covers and hides the surface it is applied to. Paint is available in oil-based and water-based formulas.
It is used as a protective coating and is normally sprayed/brushed on. Paint prevents corrosion. It is a combination of pigments with suitable thinners or oils to provide decorative and protective coatings.
Painting protects a surface from weathering effects and also prevents corrosion of metals. Paint consists of two ingredients:
- A base of solid matter which helps to obscure the surface.
- A liquid vehicle, which carries the solid matter and allows it to be evenly spread on the surface. The vehicle also forms a binder for the solid matter and causes it to adhere to the surface.
