White paint can HELP

[Szkocik]

Hi. I'm trying to apply an institute paint job to my x-01 power armor but I can't find any white paint cans anywhere, nor can I find a single bit of information on how to obtain one. I am seriously running out of patience here so any help would be much appreciated! Thank you. :(

You and me both. I have been trying to find whie dye for Winterized PA for some time now.

Looks like they are currently random objects for sale. Crafting framework is included to mod, but I am unsure if there is a proper workbench for it in the game. I am actually trying to figure it out right now.

Okay. There is apparently a Paint Bench in the menu. My Crafting menu is so swarmed that I must have been overlooking it. This workbench should allow you to mix pigments.

I will try to check that out myself today.

On the Power Armour Workstation there is a category called "Material Mod" this is where paint schemes are. If you highlight the scheme you want it will have a material cost on the right, in the same way weapon and regular armour modifications work.

Further reading below.

As far as I am aware white paint does not exist in game as an item.

According to this you should gain access to the paint scheme after the quest "Nuclear Family", after that there does not seem to be any material

"Institute paint

Increases Intelligence with all pieces painted.
Requires: None
Finishing the game with the Institute will unlock this paintrequirements"

Try opening up the power armour crafting station with a set of X-01 and it should be in the "Materials" section.

Winterised coating seems to need: Adhesive, Aluminum and Rubber (Looked at on T-45 set, may vary in amounts on parts and other sets)

It didn't come up from the conversation, but this talk relates to AWKCR. Framework has separated paints from materials. Paints no longer have any effect in the game and require pigment/dye cans.

Materials have all the benefits. You can have STR bonus material and use the Minutemen color scheme at the same time - of course without getting CHA bonus from the MM scheme.

Ah right, my apologies. I think I might have an outdated version of AWKCR maybe since I have the vanilla paint/materials layout even with the mod installed. That or my mod list is held together with chewing gum and lolly sticks.

No need to apologize for helping out. Sorry that I didn't mention AWKCR in my first reply. I should have.
