Items painted with team colors change colors depending on the player's team.

Paint Cans are tool items that allow players to change the color scheme of hats and Miscellaneous items. Not all of the aforementioned items are initially paint-able, but are often made paint-able some time after their release. Paint is available in 27 different colors. Paints are available through out the Mann Co. Store, via the Item Drop System or by opening various Crates. When buying aesthetic items from the Mann Co. Store, buyers may look at painted variants of the accessories they wish to buy.
Hats and Miscellaneous items 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.
There are two types of Paint Cans: single colors and team colors. Items painted with single colors are always the same color, no matter what team the player has joined. Items painted with team colors change colors depending on the player's team. When a player changes teams, the colors on the item change as well.
Paint-able 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 and miscellaneous item 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-colored paints, 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.

- Hats can now have their paint removed.
- Added Team Spirit paint.
- Fixed an issue where team-colored hats were showing up improperly when previewing the Team Spirit paint on them.

June 23, 2011 Patch (Über Update)

Bugs
- When using the +quickswitch command to change a user's 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.
- A hat painted with Team Spirit will sometimes turn RED upon falling off the player's head at death, even while on BLU team.
- All Paint Cans added in June 23, 2011 Patch have mixed up cans on their icons: BLU paint in RED can and vice versa.
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".
- The Über Update added several paint cans colors that were sampled off of the existing player models. "The Value of Teamwork" was sampled from the cross on the Medic's backpack, "Water Logged Lab Coat" is from the Medic's coat, "Balaclavas Are Forever" from the Spy's mask, "An Air of Debonair" sampled from the Spy's Suit, "Operator's Overall" was picked from the Engineer's overalls and "Cream Spirit" from the Engineer's hard hat.
