What are legacy paints?

[DoctorX149 #teamRΛZΞR]

On backpack.tf, it states that legacy paints are otherwise unobtainable paints that can only be found on already painted items, old ones like the texas ten gallon... So, I understand what they actually ARE, but how are they different than normal paints? Name? Color? BOTH? Someone please tell me.

Paints that are legacy.

OMFG will you actually answer my question? Please?

They aren't different at all, and yes, legacy paints aren't obtainable.

I know that in the past the way some team colour paints work have been changed or in some cases glitched. I don't know if those are the legacy paints or not though, but I can explain them anyway (in case they are the legacy paints).

Basically in current team colour paints both the Blu and Red colours are both defined in the paint, however back when the only team colour paint was Team Spirit only the Red colour was defined (I don't know how the Blu colour worked for them). For items with these paints they have a "paint splotch" but no paint is listed in the description. Items with this old Team Spirit paint still look like items with the current Team Spirit paint (aside from the description).

The other team paint one is a glitch where instead of only possessing the Red attribute they only possess the Blu attribute instead. I have no idea where these paints came from but to my knowledge all (or most) of the team colour paints were effected (not just Team Spirit). Items with these paints have no paint listed in the description and lack the "paint splotch" when looking at them on Steam. In-game however they only have half of a "paint splotch". Items with these paints only have the paint appear when on Blu.

Again, I don't know for certain whether these are the legacy paints or not, but if they are then it should be about 8 legacy paints.

This thread is from 2016, why would you necro it with something completely unrelated to legacy paints when I already explained them?

Painted Cow Manglers aren't Legacy Paints. And I say that as:
1) Someone who actually knows what legacy paints are and already explained it.
2) Someone who actually owns a Painted Cow Mangler.
