Paint is one of a number of surface coatings intended to provide some attribute not naturally provided by the substrate.

Colour is a common characteristic, but surface protection from sunlight, or salt spray would be others.

Paints are usually inferior to other bonded protective systems, such as electroplating, or galvanizing; though 'hot dipped' coatings often provide an excellent protection.

Paints degrade usually by the degradation of the carrier material, such as vinyl say; but the pigment itself may also suffer fading due to UV attack.

Strong solvents, or abrasion may be quickly fatal to a paint coating.

Why does the paint dry with a patchy finish?

The finish achieved with paint can be affected by: * Temperature as it is painted and dries - too cold and it may go "chalky" or not dry properly, too hot and the thickness of the paint may be affected, or brush marks may be more obvious. * Surface preparation - a variable surface will give a variable finish. Check for a clean, dry and even surface free of loose material like dust or flakes. * Paint age - Has the paint been on the shelf a long time, or got to hot or cold at some point? * Paint mixing - Was the paint well stirred and mixed without bubbles? * Is it the correct type of paint for the material being painted? * Was the brush or roller clean?


Can you mix art paint with house paint for your wall?

Yes! I have used both combinations of wall paint in poster paint & vice versa..I used one to tint the other in each instance & noticed that it affected the adhesion as well as the ability to block stains if adding poster paint to wall (white-ish) paint..by adding wall paint to poster paint it made poster paint stick better, flow from brush better, & require fewer coats..all of this while using a high quality acrylic wall paint..
