Modern usage should be an insult. Just add "literally." Original meaning from the 1800s: clever or intelligent. First said by Long John Silver, a pirate (an occupation known for excellent grammar?) in "Treasure Island." But how smart is paint, really?
If your target researches the phrase, dictionariies only have the original, complimentary definition --- which becomes a sneaky insult if you add "literally."

You're as smart as paint, literally. Don't be offended. I was just paraphrasing a compliment from "Treasure Island." It's a literary classic.

when a girl (usually an ugly one) puts on way too much make up, so much so that it's as if she has painted it on her face. She does this in hopes to attract a guy but almost always has the opposite effect.
I was going to hit on that chick I saw across the club but when I got closer I saw she was a paint can face so I aborted that mission faster then an unwanted fetus.
