Spanish article about name for paint (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enamel

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

'spanish article about name' is the wordplay.
'spanish article' becomes 'el'.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'el' enclosing 'name' is 'ENAMEL'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for enamel that I've seen before include "Hard white substance covering the crown of a tooth" , "Glassy coating" , "Hard shiny coating on surface" , "Hard glossy paint" , "Decorative inlay" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
