Do couriers check contents?

Thank you for replies. Just checked Yodel, it only mentions solvent based paints not water based, so will get in touch with them to check.
The list of prohibited items on any courier site is always very restrictive and I'm sure most people ignore it, for instance just noticed 'toy guns' on Yodel which I can't see any toy seller complying with as it would include all the Nerf toys. They also prohibit printer ink!

Yodel don't allow liquids unless you notify them first:

Unless otherwise agreed by Yodel, the following items will not be carried by Yodel:

Non-hazardous liquids

I'm sure a lot of people have sent something that is otherwise restricted, but not a potentially dangerous item that could spill or cause a hazard. I would still suggest you proceed with caution if you go ahead.
