Nuka cola paint job

[buttcheese34]

I've got the red Nuka Cola Power Armor found in the Nuka Cola Bottling Plant from the DLC. I'm wondering if there is a paint job for this too at the Power Armor workstation to apply to other PA's or if it's only for that one armor? I don't see it available when trying to apply the paint job to other PA's or maybe you have to finish the DLC questline?

That paint job is Unique to that Armor, you cannot craft it yourself.

ok, i'm guessing the same rule applies to the Vim Refresh PA's and their paints from the far harbor dlc?

You can add this one to any T-51.

Sort of, as Posted above you can apply those paints to other armors but only for that specific variant of Power armor, no Vim for T-60 for example.

There is 1 more unique variant in Nuka-Wolrd as well, the Quantum X-01 PA, but like the Nuka
T-51 it is unique and that is the only PA with that paint.

It really just depends on the particular paint job. Some paints can apply to almost anything, some are completely unique (like the Nuka World ones, and Brotherhood Elder paint), and others are somewhere in between.

There isn't a consistent rule that describes all paint jobs. You could roughly group them into "any", "one type", and "unique", but even there you have exceptions (like horse power armour using only its own set of paint jobs).
