Paint Cans are tool items that allow you to change the color scheme of hats. Paint cans were implemented in the Mann-Conomy Update on September 30, 2010. Paint is available in 15 different colors, and all but two of these colors can be obtained in the Mann Co. Store. The other two colors, 'An Extraordinary Abundance of Tinge' and 'A Distinctive Lack of Hue' may only be found via the Item Drop System or through chance from an opened Series #1, Series #3 or Series #4 Mann Co. Supply Crate.
Since the October 6, 2010 Patch, 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. [2]
The "Team Spirit" paint can, added in the November 19, 2010 Patch, 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 and cannot be obtained by random drops.

Trivia
- The "216-190-216" in the name of Color No. 216-190-216 is the RGB representation of the color that items are painted with.
- Zephaniah's Greed is misspelled; it should have said "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)".
- Some hats appeared to be made of plastic when painted; this was fixed with the December 2, 2010 update.
