About
Paint is a liquid coating used for color and protection that is significantly denser than plain water.
Typical paint has a density of about 10.8 pounds per US gallon (1.3 g/mL). Mineral pigments and binders make the liquid considerably heavier than water or cooking oil. A standard one-gallon (3.8 L) can weighs nearly 11 pounds (5.0 kg), taking up the same physical space as a gallon of milk but feeling noticeably heavier to lift.
From Wikipedia
Paint is a material or mixture of colored liquid that, when applied to a solid material and allowed to dry, adds a film-like layer. As art, this is used to create an image or images known as a painting.
