Actually they are not paints unless they are both registered APHA horses (or unregistered but out of registered stock). Paint is a specific breed, but PINTO is the name for the color pattern on spotted horses other than paints. Tobiano, overo, splash, minimal white, piebald, skewbald, etc can all be used to describe coat patterns/colors in both paints and pinto horses and ponies. But only a paint is a paint....

Spotted coats can happen in just about every breed. Even Arabs and Morgans (hopefully only when crossed with other breeds, but it has happened in purebreds...) can be spotted (coat color can sometimes refered to as sabino if they qualify) - you wouldn't call them a paint, though. It seems more stock horse type spotted horses get wrongly labeled as paint when they are not, doesn't seem to happen as often in the other breeds.

And paints can be paints even if they are solid colored, same as appaloosas can be appaloosas without spots. Sometimes coat color/pattern genetics can be tricky.
