You see so many bay horses because the bay color gene is dominant. In most cases it can over-ride black and it varieties and even grey and its varieties. When breeding a chestnut with a bay it's about 50-50 whether you will get chestnut or bay.

What are paint horses personalities like?

To know what the personality is likely to be like in a paint horse, you need to first look at the horses breeding. Paint horses are this way due to colour genetics playing a part. This is nothing to do with the breed of the horse. Any breed of horse can be a paint if bred with the right colour genetics. Personality is more based on horse breed, for example Quarter Horses are known for their laid bay personalities where Thoroughbreds can be more highly strung...but either can be a paint horse in colour. Typically Quarter Horses and some pony breeds are found with paint colouring.
