Brought back from Harlem, a new type of paint (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enamel

'type of paint' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'brought back from harlem a new' is the wordplay.
'brought back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'lemane' is hidden in the letters of 'harlem a new'.
'lemane' backwards is 'ENAMEL'.

(Other definitions for enamel that I've seen before include "Dental material" , "art form" , "Hard gloss paint" , "Smooth hard paint" , "Vitrified coating for metal etc" .)
