Painted metal

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.

Locations

 * The painted metal material may be crafted and applied to metal or robot armor at an armor workbench. The metal helmet mod can only be learned from scrapping pieces of metal armor.
 * Loose painted metal mods exist in the game files, but cannot be found in-game.
