Very little. The Paint horse began as Quarter Horses that had excessive white markings, in Paint talk these are called 'cropouts'. Two solid colored QHs can and do quite ofter produce a foal that is very colorful. The AQHA has color restrictions, so many of these very nice 'cropouts' were not accepted for registration, making their value much less. So the American Paint Horse Association was born. Since 1965 these wonderful, colorful horses have grown in popularity for their kindness, versatility and beautiful coats.
A Paint is a breed of horse in it of its self like the quarter horse.
its called a paint.
When you cross a quarter horse and a thoroughbred, you will get an appendix quarter horse. The paint may or may not come out in the foal. That is all in the genetics, and I would need more info to tell you that.
Yes and no. The Paint horse was started as a breed due to Quarter horse breeders tossing out or killing perfectly good horses just because they had 'too much' white on them, which associated the horses with Native American tribes. To prove the horses were valuable the registry was started and any Quarter horse with too much white was allowed to be registered. they also then accepted Thoroughbreds into the registry after a period of time. Nowadays there are distinct bloodlines within the Paint and many of them are actually still purebred Quarter horses. The term paint refers to a horse with a broken coat color (there is a minimum amount of white over pink skin to be classified) that is also within strict bloodline requirements. To be registered with the APHA the parents must be registered with APHA, AQHA or the Jockey Club (meaning a thoroughbred). At least one parent must be APHA registered. Therefore, many paints are of strong quarter horse lineage, some horses are cross registered between the quarter horse and paint horse registries. When a horse is not within these breed requirements, yet still retains the colorful coat pattern they are simply called a pinto. Pinto refers to the coat color whereas paint is a breed.
More than breed, body type is what will be similar. A 15.2 Quarter Horse will weigh about the same as a Paint, Arabian, Appaloosa, crossbreed, or Morgan of the same height. Horse's bone structure will also play a part. A 15.2 Quarter Horse may weigh less than a 15.2 Shire or other heavier draft breeds.
If its a purebred Paint and a Purebred QH, you should be able to register it with both associations. Hope this helps.
No. There may be a VERY minute chance depending on the genes of the parents, but most likely, no.

Traditionally, nothing - both are horses with two or more colors in patches. The American Paint Horse is a breed that has been fairly recently recognized, however - paint horses must have Quarter horse and Thoroughbred bloodlines.
When you cross a quarter horse and a thoroughbred, you will get an appendix quarter horse. The paint may or may not come out in the foal. That is all in the genetics, and I would need more info to tell you that.
Quarter Horse or Paint.
Quarter horses are a breed, where Overo is a pattern, similar to Tobiano. "Paint" horses are considered their own breeds too. Try looking into this horse's genetics to find out more about it's blood lines. Certainly a Quarter Horse may have an Overo pattern, but so can a Paint horse.
The breed matters little. The horse is what really matters. Whether it is a Shire or a Shetland, a paint or a quarter horse, you want an older, calm, well trained horse that has plenty of experience in the disipline you want to try. The breed or size doesn't matter- it's the heart and willingness of the horse to partner with you and keep you safe and allow you to learn and improve. Also, a Paint horse is likely to be genetically very similar to a Quarter Horse, since the Paint breed is a color breed that was derived from the Quarter Horse.
the paint horse is a quarter horse. they are colored like brown and white, black and white. buckskin and white, any color that a horse is, with white.
You will not see a Paint horse in the Kentucky Derby. The Derby is for Thoroughbreds only. A Paint is a spotted horse with Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred bloodlines.

Quarter horse.
A Paint horse is a Quarter Horse with spots. Paint horses can grow to the same size as all other Quarter Horses. Most range in size from 14.3 to 15.3 H. I've known several 17 H Quarters and Paints. One hand equals 4 inches.
