Paint is a liquid coating that, when applied to a surface, forms a solid film to protect, color, or provide texture. It typically consists of pigments, binders, solvents, and additives. Varnish, on the other hand, is a clear or translucent finish that provides a protective layer and enhances the appearance of the underlying material, often made from resins, oils, and solvents without added pigments. Both are commonly used in various applications, from home decor to industrial finishes.

Varnish can help protect paint and may prevent further peeling by creating a barrier against moisture and environmental factors.
