If the improvement is measurable it's worth pursuing, and no single paint company is going to see as much of a benifit as the end users.

Besides, NASA (and DARPA and other ends of the gubmint) have a long and productive history of performing or funding pure research that industry won't do because it simply won't show a profit in the next quarter or two. Tax money can be a very good thing.
