Art supplies in carry on: anyone have trouble with security?

I'm flying from California to Marseilles. I paint using liquid acrylic paints in tubes. I'd like to avoid checking my bag. TSA says they are legal to carry on if they all fit into a quart bag. They do. Even so, I'm concerned about Security letting them through. Has anyone had trouble getting paints through US or French security?

thanks

They each must be less than 3 oz. also. Keep that in mind. If they are, and they all fit in one quart-size bag (along with whatever other liquids you are carrying), and the top closes, you should be OK.
