Umm the TSA might let you by , however the airline might not .. check with them (damage caused by paint yadda yadda)

I know a few, who have an "intresting"view point on a number of items. Far to much to discuss here.

Best and safe advice is check with the airline its self.

O/ Was not the point I was making, While the OP asked about the TSA, my point is prudent in the wider scope of the question of the intent of the OP to travel via air with paints !

The Airlines them selfs have own rules what you can take on planes, Paint is often a no no .
The primary reason is criminal/paint damage to the airline interior , other travellers property and clothing, either by you been big fingered, an accident or otherwise.

As you indicated some "strange" people work at desk's make up a "no" if confused.~
I would rather check with the airline proir to travel than have an incident/accident, find out I breached some supid rule , get ejected/arrested/sued etc., plus been able to point out where on thier own rules that I CAN carry it on, if specified
