Description:
Turn Your Garage into a Real Automotive Workshop!

Are you the kind of person who can’t stand seeing a scratched-up, blood-covered car in the middle of an apocalypse? Then this mod was made for you!
With this mod, you can now sand, prime, and paint vehicles with all the finesse a true car enthusiast deserves!

Warning: This mod can be installed on both new and existing saves, but in existing saves, players might not find the items if they’ve already visited the common spawn areas.

Mod Loader: This mod should be loaded before all compatible vehicle mods.

Requirements to become a paint job master:
  • Read the Automotive Painting Magazine
  • Be in a covered location (e.g., garage) – no air bubbles, alright?
  • Wash the vehicle if it’s covered in blood
  • Repair the bodywork if it’s damaged
  • Use personal protective equipment
  • Have a sanding block
  • Have enough spray primer
  • Have enough spray paint in your favorite color

Each car takes a different amount of time depending on its size.

Heads up: the process is loud – make sure you’re in a safe spot before starting!

Where to find the materials?

Magazine: where you normally find other automotive magazines
Sanding block: tool-related locations
Spray paint:
New: stores, storages, mail packages…
Used: garages, homes, vehicles… even artistic zombies!

Tips:

I’m not saying recycling should be a top priority in the apocalypse, but hey – why not earn some metal welding XP by cutting up empty spray cans with scissors?
Spray paint boxes use a gacha system – giving you a better chance of getting multiple cans of the same color.
Use your common sense to find sprays – I made the loot spawns as realistic as possible!

Future Updates:
  • More windows = less time and fewer materials
  • Window masking with newspapers and tape
  • If you don’t paint it… it rusts!

Known Compatibility Mod List:

If a compatible mod isn’t listed here, please leave a comment below with the mod link, and I will add it to the list later. If this mod isn’t compatible with your favorite car mod, kindly ask the vehicle mod’s author to implement the simple compatibility script discussed here.
