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.

Get the Paint 3Dmug. The artstyle used for those funky, simple drawings, occasionally with suspicious amounts of equally simple gore that gay people on the internet use as reaction images. Mostly used to represent a strong and very high or very low energy emotion. (e.g. anger, unrest, depression, hyper-focus)

Get the MS paint pseudo-hyperbolic expressionismmug. A Good Lil Christian that is revealed to be a vile monster and makes up claims about sic'ing gumshoes on investigative journalists because they were revealed to be a public figure on Linkedin. Their form of Christianity stems from the Blab-it-n-Grab-it theology. See McChurch or drinkthekoolaid (the butt of that second crack would pull the damned race card over that crack. )
Sherri Parker on twitter befriended the plagiarist enabler The Egoless Writer's composer as I revealed in truth they're both a Holy Paint Chip Eater. A Holy Paint Chip Eater is one that shits on scientific ideas and philosophical thought, they'd might have only one book in the house or on their pinterest "Their Books Worth Reading" is empty and have repeated memes of Kermit drinking Lipton Tea as she claims I am a "wus" when the goblin failed to realize I busted Rachel Dolezal finding her linkedin account.
