Talk:Paint Can

Known Bugs

• A Tough Guy's Toque painted with Color No. 216-190-216 is only painted while on Red team. (This may apply to other colours and the Tough Guys Toque, but I've only got a Color No. 216-190-216 one). -RJ 17:35, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Hat previews?

I know it probably require a lot of work, but I think it would be neat if we got up a hat preview. While the list of colors is appreciated, seeing the actual results would be very useful to most TF2 players. Of course, this would lead to a massive amount of images, but there is space for that on the hosting right? --Ailure 04:35, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

 In progressI wasn't around when you made this comment, but I'm already working on that. Hopefully we'll have a good implementation in a few hours. -RJ 13:45, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Awesome! I look forward to that then! :) It's hard to tell how some colors would wind up looking on the hats, so this should be really useful. --Ailure 19:04, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

I have noticed that some of the colors don't look the same as in game. I saw the tyrants helm with the white paint and it was white, not pink like it shows on the wiki page. Alinay 00:46, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Are you sure? The alpha channel in the Tyrants Helm's texture is slightly transparent, so it should be slightly pink in game. If you're correct then either mine and Pilk's method of painting is incorrect, or the in-game lighting is eliminating the "pink". Can you get a screenshot for us to review. Thanks -RJ 00:58, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Would it be possible to show the default color as well. For things like the Texas Ten Gallon, the default and the White look practically the same, but would be easier to compare if you could see it side by side. Rhonlore 02:58, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Paint can prices

List of coloured hats

There's a list of coloured hats with images here: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1455845. They're pretty low-quality, should we use them on the hat pages? --Firestorm 03:15, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I believe that some of the higher-quality images should be used unless/until better alternatives come around. I recommend ones such as [1] , [2] , and [3] , where the view is clear and the poses are interesting. --Ashsflames 03:24, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Does using a Paint Can remove the item's Vintage status?

Because look at how awesome this looks: [4]Michael 12:27, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Nope.-RJ 00:58, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Undoing Paint

Is it possible to reverse a paint job? Or once painted, can the hat not be reverted to its original color? Ensign Epic 00:41, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

No. You can re-paint it, but not undo it. -RJ 00:52, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

It would be nice if you could remove the paint off the hats. You shouldn't get the paint back, but an option to remove would be cool.Alinay 00:59, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
