Painted metal is a material mod for metal and robot armor in Fallout 76.

Effects[]

When applied to a metal or robot armor piece, it improves Damage and Energy Resistance. Metal armor gains an orange rust-like appearance while robot armor retains its original appearance.

It is considered a first-tier material mod and, with the exception of the metal helmet, is automatically known for crafting.

Crafting[]

Armor modifications will modify an existing armor, and any modifications previously equipped on the armor will be destroyed, not unequipped. Loose mods cannot be crafted. For modifications unlocked through scrapping, the corresponding armor must be scrapped in order to learn how to craft it.
