  5. Environmentally Friendly

2. Covering ability: Paints should cover the body uniformly and homogeneously on which it is applied and the finish should be smooth and uniform.

3. Ease of cleaning: When it is required to clean the paint, it shold be easy to remove i.e A good paint should not react chemically with the materials but should only cover its surface.

5. Environmentally Friendly: Paint should be water based and must not have any plasticizers or biocides as solvents.
