Paint

Paint is a liquid mixture that can be made into various different colors and applied onto a surface to act as a decorative or protective coating. Such an act is called painting, and one who engages in it is known as a painter.

In 2121, a young Jonathan Archer was painting a model of his father's spacecraft while the two of them discussed the future Warp five engine. 

In 2151, during an inspection of the newly commissioned, Commander Tucker knocked the hull of the ship with an inspection pod. Captain Archer responded by joking that he had scratched the paint. 

In 2153, while Captain Archer was piloting a shuttlepod through an asteroid field, two asteroids collided, sending bits of rubble on to the hull of the small craft. Lieutenant Reed then said that they may need a fresh coat of paint when they return. 

In 2375, Captain Benjamin Sisko had an orb-induced vision of Benny Russell, in which Benny had covered the walls of his room in a mental institution with a pencil-written story. Later, Benny almost gave in to Doctor Wykoff's request for him to paint over his writings. 

Later the same year, in an effort to gain possession of a graviton stabilizer, Ensign Nog set up a series of deals, one of which involved the loaning of Captain Sisko's desk. While Nog was away acquiring the stabilizer, Chief O'Brien made a replacement desk for the captain, which was unfinished. O'Brien said he was going to paint it later. 

After beaming over to a Malon freighter that was leaking theta radiation, Neelix proclaimed it was "nothing a fresh coat of paint wouldn't brighten up".
