English term or phrase: smell paint
Every time I smell paint, I’m reminded of one of those lessons. When he was teaching me to paint, he always said, “Use a dropcloth, so you don’t spill on the carpet.” I always listened—except for one brief period of time. I was painting at a house, not under the supervision of my dad. I thought about his advice but decided it would be okay not to listen just this “one” time. Sure enough, I did a good job, and nothing spilled on the carpet.
=================
Minha dúvida:
cheiro a tinta? (encostar o nariz e cheirar o conteúdo da lata de tinta?)
cheiro de tinta? (apresentar cheiro de tinta pelo corpo?)

Procurei e não achei uma única ocorrência sequer que me tirasse essa dúvida.
Agradeço o seu apoio.
