Paint is a liquid or mastic composition that is applied in a thin layer and dries to form a solid opaque film. It is commonly used to protect, color, or provide texture to objects. Cave paintings made with ochre, hematite, manganese oxide, and charcoal may date back 40,000 years. Ancient Egyptian wall paintings from around 2000 years ago still have vivid colors due to the Egyptians' technique of applying different colors separately without blending. Paint was historically made from egg yolk which would harden and stick to surfaces, while pigments came from plants, sands, and soils. Modern paint contains pigments for color, a binder that forms the film, a solvent to control viscosity and drying

About Paint
What is paint? ï‚— Paint is any liquid, liquefiable, or mastic composition which after application to a substrate in a thin layer is converted to an opaque solid film. It is most commonly used to protect, color or provide texture to objects.
History ï‚— In 2011, South African archeologists reported finding a 100,000 year old human-made ochre-based mixture which may have been used like paint.[1] Cave paintings drawn with red or yellow ochre, hematite, manganese oxide, and charcoal may have been made by early Homo sapiens as long as 40,000 years ago.
ï‚— Ancient colored walls at Dendera, Egypt, which were exposed for years to the elements, still possess their brilliant color, as vivid as when they were painted about 2,000 years ago. The Egyptians mixed their colors with a gummy substance, and applied them separate from each other without any blending or mixture. They appeared to have used six colors: white, black, blue, red, yellow, and green. They first covered the area entirely with white then traced the design in black, leaving out the lights of the ground color. They used minium for red, and generally of a dark tinge.
ï‚— Pliny mentions some painted ceilings in his day in the town of Ardea, which had been done prior to the foundation of Rome. He expresses great surprise and admiration at their freshness, after the lapse of so many centuries. ï‚— Paint was made with the yolk of eggs and therefore, the substance would harden and stick onto the surface it is applied to. Pigments were made from plants, sands, and different soil types.
Requirement ï‚— Pigments - Pigments are granular solids incorporated into the paint to contribute color, toughness, texture, give the paint some special properties or simply to reduce the cost of the paint. Alternatively, some paints contain dyes instead of or in combination with pigments. ï‚— Granular-small pieces
Requirements ï‚— Binder, vehicle, or resins ï‚— The binder, commonly referred to as the vehicle, is the actual film forming component of paint. It is the only component that must be present; other components listed below are included optionally, depending on the desired properties of the cured film.
ï‚— Solvent ï‚— The main purposes of the solvent are to adjust the curing properties and viscosity of the paint. It is volatile and does not become part of the paint film. It also controls flow and application properties, and affects the stability of the paint while in liquid state. Its main function is as the carrier for the non volatile components. In order to spread heavier oils (i.e. linseed) as in oil-based interior housepaint, a thinner oil is required.
ï‚—Additives ï‚—Besides the three main categories of ingredients, paint can have a wide variety of miscellaneous additives, which are usually added in very small amounts and yet give a very significant effect on the product
