What is Paint?
Paint is a liquid or paste substance applied to surfaces to add color, protection, and texture. Once dried, it forms a solid layer that protects walls or materials from damage, improves appearance, and can be used decoratively or industrially.
How Paint Works?
When applied, paint sticks to the surface and dries into a tough coating. It:
- Protects against moisture, sunlight, and rust
- Beautifies homes, buildings, and objects
- Improves durability of walls, wood, metal, etc.
