Further excavation in the same cave resulted in the 2011 report of a complete toolkit for grinding pigments and making a primitive paint-like substance. In 20, South African archeologists reported finds in Blombos Cave of a 100,000-year-old human-made ochre-based mixture that could have been used like paint. Some 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. Paint was one of the earliest arts of humanity. History A charcoal and ochre cave painting of Megaloceros from Lascaux, France Usually, the object being painted must be over 10 ☌ (50 ☏), although some manufacturers of external paints/primers claim they can be applied when temperatures are as low as 2 ☌ (35 ☏). Water-based paints and oil-based paints will cure differently based on the outside ambient temperature of the object being painted (such as a house). Clean-up solvents are also different for water-based paint than they are for oil-based paint. For one, it is illegal in most municipalities to discard oil-based paint down household drains or sewers. Most paints are either oil-based or water-based and each has distinct characteristics. Paint is typically stored, sold, and applied as a liquid, but most types dry into a solid. Paint can be made in many colors-and in many different types.

It is most commonly used to protect, color and primer, or provide texture. Paint is any pigmented liquid, liquefiable, or solid mastic composition that, after application to a substrate in a thin layer, converts to a solid film. Assorted tempera (top) and gouache (bottom) paints
