Paints are generally solid colouring materials which are suspended in a liquid medium, and are used to coat various surfaces such as walls, woods, metallic surfaces, etc, for the purposes of protecting or decorating them. Paints are composed of pigments, solvents, resins and different additives which make them very useful for decorating your homes. The pigments give the paint its colour while the solvents ensure that the paints are easy to apply. Resins in paints ensure that the paints dry quickly while the additives, either fillers or antimicrobial agents help to protect the surfaces on which the paints are applied.
