RE: painting
To me a lining is a sheet membrane; coating is a liquid.
RE: painting
Many people use painting and coating interchangeably, and "painting" is often used to mean any thin-film liquid-applied covering. However if pressed to distinguish:
"Painting" is more often decorative as its primary function.
"Coating" is primarily protective of the substrate as its primary function.
"Lining" is internal (tanks and pipelines) and is protective of both substrate and content.
Again, these are not universally and firmly agreed-upon - usage is quite varied.

RE: painting
My absolute favorite paint nomenclature reference is the "Coatings Encyclopedic Dictionary" put out originally by the Federation of Societies for Coating Technology (FSCT) in conjunction with ASTM - the FSCT was later eaten by the American Coatings Association (Paint.org)
At least they still sell the volume:

RE: painting
Thermoplastic road markings also count - similar to a powder coat in that heat is used to liquefy instead of solvent, but liquified in bulk rather than by a heated surface.
