For paints that require all pieces to be painted to grant a SPECIAL bonus, as long as all parts have the same stat boosted, they can be mixed without limit. Painting does not require any materials with the exception of Vault-Tec paint and military paint. Raider power armor cannot be painted or shielded at all. Certain paint schemes and shields are limited to specific power armor models, while others are available for all power armors. Paint jobs, however, only have an effect when the entire armor is painted in the same scheme, while shield coatings are effective per separate armor part and don't require a full set.Īs a general rule: paint, besides modifying the statistics of power armor, also adds a cosmetic effect to the power armor. Each part of the power armor can be painted or shielded separately. Note: Not all paint jobs are available on all parts. Modding the armor can increase its Damage Resistancechange paint materials, improve core efficiency or add bonus stats and effects. One can add and remove mods from the power armor frame at a power armor station. The Armorer perk is required for creating new modifications of level 1 and above. Anyone can create new base-level modifications, remove any existing modifications from armor and apply any player character-owned modifications to armor. In Fallout 4armor can be modified using junk components.
