Synthetic fibre; paint (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acrylic

I believe this is a double definition.

'synthetic fibre' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'paint' is the second definition.
(acrylic paint is a kind of paint)

(Other definitions for acrylic that I've seen before include "fibre that's synthetic" , "Synthetic fibre or paint" , "The synthetic fibre is icy, Carl" , "Synthetic resin or fibre used for textiles" , "Kind of paint" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
