The Sniper on recolored hats

Paint Cans are tool items that allow you to change the color scheme of hats. Paint is available in 21 different colors.

Hats can have their paint removed, restoring them to their original color. 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 can 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.

Trivia

  • The "216-190-216" in the name of Color No. 216-190-216 is the RGB representation of the color.
  • Zephaniah's Greed is misspelled; it should instead say "Zepheniah's Greed".
  • Muskelmannbraun is German for "Muscleman brown".
  • Painted items do not work under DirectX 8; they will be the ordinary colored item instead. When running the game under DirectX 8, the item descriptions for the Paint Cans as well as the "carrying" descriptions for other players' painted items will warn you of this fact. Painted items also have red text beneath the item's description stating, "Paint will not be visible on your computer (DX9+ required)".
