There are three purposes of paint- protection, aesthetics, functionality.
Protection:
When metal and wood is exposed to wind, rain, and sunlight, it may rust or rot. The paint on the surface creates a coating layer that can act to preserve and protect it.
Aesthetics:
There are many painted goods like cellular phones, cars, etc. around us. A coat of paint is aesthetically pleasing and gives color and shine.
Functionality:
A coat of paint can provide heat insulation and/or resistance. An important factor in making these roles fully demonstrated is viscosity.
The viscosity of the paint is related to ease of application, finish and long-term stability of the paint.

Customer comments
A manufacture of strippable paint used to prevent corrosion, protection, and repel water mixes their own blend of paint has decided to purchase VISCO™ after their customer complained about inconsistent viscosity. Neo Tech uses VISCO™ to numerically capture their product viscosity for improved and consistent viscosity. They are especially fond of the VISCO™ for accuracy, price, and connectibility to PC for data management.
