Sort of paint that's unsuitable (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inapt

'unsuitable' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sort of paint' is the wordplay.
'sort of' indicates anagramming the letters.
'paint' anagrammed gives 'INAPT'.

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for inapt that I've seen before include "Inappropriate" , "Unsuitable - paint (anag)" , "Unsuited" , "unqualified" , "Useless" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
