I seriously have no ideo whether that's possible or not since I know next to nothing about molecular physics. Just thought I'd mention it here and see what you guys think.
    This is plausible because if you ever did house painting, you get milky water when you clean your rollers. The white color come from titanium dioxide and the same effect could be done with aluminium oxide which is a white powder.

    In theory it is barely plausible, but in reality it would never work. First, and critically, there is no surfactant in the paint. Therefore, you wouldn't be able to keep the particles separated, and they would adhere to the walls of the tubes etc...it would be a big mess to be honest. BUT, you are all free to try it and let us all know what happens..
