  • Paint is a liquid substance that is used to coat surfaces to decorate, protect, or to make a surface more functional. Paint is composed of four main ingredients, pigment, binder, solvent, and additives. The pigment is a substance that is used to add color, strength, or reduce the cost of the paint. The binder adheres the components together and to the surface to which the paint is applied. The solvent makes the paint liquid for ease of application. Additives add properties to the paint, like mildew resistance. Earliest known uses of paint is from forty thousand year old cave paintings.
