The people who make the paint. Their factory has to have a name brand and that's the name of the paint. The government also has to check the name brand to make sure it is ok and not bad because if it's a bad name or a bad word and they sell it without the government's permission, then they will get a ticket or get put in jail.

AnswerThe government doesn't give "permission" for brand names--at least the US government doesn't; some governments may have a bureaucrat whose job it is to make sure brand names don't have bad words in them, but not the US.

If you want to name your paint "This Is The Best (insert obscenity) Paint In The Whole (insert obscenity) World" you are more than welcome to do so. You'll have two little problems, though: no paint store in the world will put a product that has a vulgar name on the shelf, and the paint quality had better live up to its boasting or you're going to get sued for misrepresentation.

But, if you're asking about the names of the colors, there are companies that do nothing but come up with names for things. Someone there will look at the new colors and think, "this looks like meadow moss" or "this looks like a sunset over Moscow."

Can polymer paint be sprayed?

Vehicle manufacturers spray the coating on their cars and trucks when they build them. And these paints are almost exclusively polymers. Yes, polymer paints can be sprayed on. The paint and the manner in which it is applied may vary from job to job, but sprayed on finishes are industry standards. And they have been for a long time. The new automotive finishes were developed by chemists who know polymers inside and out. The finishes are tough, long lasting, and resistant to oxidation and chemical attack. They also resist the abuses of sun and wind borne abrasives, as well as remain flexible to resist chipping. These polymers were always developed with the understanding that they would be sprayed on. It was a given.
