From the Impressionist canvas to the Space Shuttle...from customized
hotrods to the brilliant orange hue of the Golden Gate Bridge or tiny
electronic devices--paint is one of our most ubiquitous products. And
paint adds more than just pigmentation. It's a crucial engineering
element, protecting ships from water corrosion, stovetops from heat, and
the Stealth Bomber from radar detection. In homes and businesses, it
provides a balanced spectrum of light and protects surfaces from wear.
In this colorful hour, we discover how this marvel of chemistry and
engineering is made, and how it is applied. Come see what's beneath the
surface as we reveal one of man's most ingenious methods of defeating
the elements and adding spice to life!
