See? Red! Oh, wait...that's blood.
The Soldier on recolored hats

Paint Cans are tool items that allow players to change the color scheme of hats. Not all hats are initially paintable, but are often made paintable some time after their release. Paint is available in 21 different colors, however only 13 colors are available though the Mann Co. Store. The rest of the colors may only be found via the Item Drop System or by opening various Crates. When buying hats from the Mann Co. Store, buyers may look at painted variants of the hats they wish to buy.

Hats can have their paint removed, restoring them to their original color. This can be done in the Backpack by clicking on the item in question and then clicking the Restore button. In doing so however, the Paint Can will not be returned to the player.

Valve has stated via the Steam forums that there are plans to implement painting with weapons, but current development priority rests on increased player interest. [1]

The "Team Spirit" Paint changes the painted item's color depending on the player's team. The listed price for "Team Spirit" is currently as opposed to the regular . It cannot be obtained via random drops, however it is found in Crate series #7 and #15.

The "Pink as Hell", "A Color Similar to Slate", "Drably Olive", "The Bitter Taste of Defeat and Lime", "The Color of a Gentlemann's Business Pants" and "Dark Salmon Injustice" Paint Cans cannot be bought in the Mann Co. Store, and can only be obtained through Crates. All 6 of these paint cans can be found in Crate series #9. Additionally, "Pink as Hell" and "A Color Similar to Slate" can be found in series #13, "Drably Olive" and "The Bitter Taste of Defeat and Lime" in series #14, and "The Color of a Gentlemann's Business Pants" and "Dark Salmon Injustice" in series #15 Crates. As Crates from series #1-15 no longer drop after the April 7, 2011 Patch, these Paint Cans are currently only available through opening Crates obtained before this date.

Paintable item previews

The following pages display previews of items painted with Paint Cans. Hover over any image to display the name of the paint that was used. Popular tendencies for hat coloring can also be viewed at tf2stats.net.

Note: Images may not exactly match the examples depicted here, as in-game lighting conditions may vary. For team-colored items, the RED model skin has been used, meaning that the painted item may appear differently when worn on the BLU team (with the exception of Team Spirit paint, in which both the RED and BLU versions are displayed).

A gallery of in-game pictures of hats - non-painted, painted or unusual, can be found at TF2Gallery.

Bugs

  • Zephaniah's Greed is misspelled; it should instead say "Zepheniah's Greed".
  • When using the +quickswitch command to change a users load-out, painted items are not differentiated from regular items; this means that if a user has multiple painted variants of the same hat, all the variants are ignored (they're treated as duplicates) and just one entry appears in the +quickswitch panel.
  • The preview does not allow the player to rotate the item's model.
  • Some hats will return to their unpainted colors on a player's death.
  • A hat painted with Team Spirit will sometimes turn RED upon falling off the player's head at death, even while on BLU team.

Trivia

  • The "216-190-216" in the name of Color No. 216-190-216 is the RGB representation of the color.
  • Muskelmannbraun is German for "Muscleman brown".
