RE: acrylic paint
Acrylic paint is a type of fast-drying and water-soluble paint that artists commonly use for various crafts and fine arts. It is made of pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion, which can be diluted with water or other mediums. It can also be made to resemble other types of paints such as oil or watercolor. Acrylic paints are known for their flexibility, durability and resistance to fading, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor artwork. They are available in a variety of colors and finishes.

RE: Plaintiff
A plaintiff, also known as a claimant or complainant, is the term used in some jurisdictions for the party who initiates a lawsuit before a court. In other words, someone who tries to sue. By doing so, the plaintiff seeks a legal remedy, and if successful, the court will issue judgment in favor of the plaintiff and make the appropriate court order.
In some jurisdictions the commencement of a lawsuit is done by filing a summons, claim form and/or a complaint. These documents are known as pleadings, that set forth the alleged wrongs committed by the defendant or defendants with a demand for relief. In other jurisdictions the action is commenced by service of legal process by delivery of these documents on the defendant by a process server; they are only filed with the court subsequently with an affidavit from the process server that they had been given to the defendant according to the rules of civil procedure.
Not all lawsuits are plenary actions, involving a full trial on the merits of the case. There are also simplified procedures, often called proceedings, in which the parties are termed petitioner instead of plaintiff, and respondent instead of defendant. There are also cases that do not technically involve two sides, such as petitions for specific statutory relief that require judicial approval; in those cases there are no respondents, just a petitioner.
