Description:

*THIS IS THE OFFICIAL STEAM REUPLOAD, the original mod is created by TerrariaMan, who gave me full permission to upload this mod to steam. The original mod is on the Chucklefish Forums*

See an object that isn’t quite the right color scheme? Now you can paint it!
See a light that doesn’t match the color scheme of your build? Now you can paint it!

Paint doors, chairs, couches, boxes, crates, lights, crops (yes, crops), and anything else that can be found in the vanilla game!

*When it comes to beds or chairs, you may have to quit to the main menu and rejoin your save to apply changes to the cover image (aka the image that goes in front of the player) of beds and chairs*

Getting Started>
———————
Your Matter Manipulator’s paint mode does not work on objects! Instead, you need to craft a paint mode variation at the Industrial Workbench.
All paint modes have the same ingredient requirements: 3 manipulator modules, 1 dye remover, 1 red dye, 1 blue dye, 1 green dye, 1 yellow dye, 1 orange dye, 1 pink dye, 1 white dye, 1 black dye, 6 durasteel bars, and 3 copper wires.

In the furniture tab of the workbench, you will find three craftable paint modes:
– "[Light Only] Paint Mode" is used for painting the emitted light of objects.
– "[Obj & Light] Paint Mode" is used for painting both objects and their emitted light (if any.)
– "[Obj Only] Paint Mode" is used for painting just objects, without coloring the emitted light (if any.)

These paint modes do not override your existing matter manipulator’s paint mode, instead these paint modes are separate items that you can store away at anytime.

Controls>
———————
The controls are exactly the same as the paint mode for blocks;
Left Click/Primary Fire paints the object, and Right Click/Secondary Fire switches the paint color.
When switching the paint color, it goes in the same order as the paint mode for blocks;
Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Black, White, and "Reset Color" (the "Reset Color" reverts objects back to their default color.)

Despite most objects being paintable, there are (unfortunately) certain objects that weren’t able to work at the moment, so you may not be able to paint every vanilla object in the game sadly.
