means to smoke the roach of a blunt. Originates from three high schooler's in Oakland who put the roach into the window of a hotwheels car, and smoked the roach by inhaling through the other window. This "burned the paint" on the top of the car, hence the saying.
stoner #1: yo bruh do you throw away the roach when you're almost burning yo fingers?
stoner #2: nah man that's a waste of weed, I stay burning the paint.
