This depends on the type of paint. In oil paint there is a physical change as volatile substances evaporate - and a chemical change as the paint hardens. In water-based paint (latex based) the paint loses water and so that part is a physical change - from wet to dry. But it also polymerizes (hardening, irreversible) which is chemical.

Only washable paint is physically drying by evaporation (reversible, otherwise it wouldn't be 'washable').

yes, it is because it would be difficult to reverse, and if it is a paint that goes on a certain colour, but drys a different colour, like some of the ceiling paints, there is a colour change.

It is a chemical change because it changes color when you mix 2 colors.

It's a chemical change because it would be hard to reverse it and the color changes as it gets dried by the air
