they *say* it's latex-based paint...

...but i don't see how it makes typesetting equations any easier than any other kind.

I am now visualizing blue walls accented with tasteful paler-blue equations. If you could write them as LaTeX source and have the paint render them, that would be neat!

And far easier on my mom's and my shoulders!

The idea of auto-rendering paint brings back a childhood memory for me, actually. I had a storybook about Santa and toy-making elves and so on, and one page spread had an illustration of Santa's workshop, packed full of elves.

In one corner, an elf was painting a checkerboard with a brush and a bucket of checkerboard paint.

I thought this was the awesomest thing ever, and spent ages trying to figure out one could actually create such paint. I couldn't think of anything better than slicing squares into a paint roller.

In Vernor Vinge's Marooned in Realtime, there's polka-dot spray paint. (Nanotech.)
