A ton of robots have boring, bland, uninteresting, or lazy paint jobs. This tutorial will fix that. When I see a perfectly painted bot I see graffiti, digital, colorful, or something out of the ordinary. You might not know it, but you could be lazy AND have a kick-ass paintjob too! I get my paint jobs by simply typing in on google pictures either "graffic art" or "(3D) digital wallpaper". Now just choose the best part of the picture you see, cut it in your favorite art program, and paste it in the desired place in your bot. A good example would be my raw 2 bot, Mercury (see my stock showcase) it uses my method to give it a liquid metal look. I will get some pics later.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Mercury's skin is bland.

Oops! that was the other mercury skin. It is ALOT better now.

I was supposed to write a skinning tutorial last year... but, I got a bit tied up. I hope to do it someday though. I agree with you on looking for unique pictures online and using the best parts for the design of the bot.

I personally enjoy bland paintjobs. The robots I build very rarely look good.

Yea maybe they look bland but they are always pretty formidable opponents.

I like a good paintjob a lot. Click's always are awesome. Personally I'm lazy, and made a bunch of skins like Sage and just paint the whole chassis...but it still looks cool. :P

I'm curious about this new Mercury paintjob. Because building on what Reier said about blandness, a bad skinner making a skinning tutorial.. doesn't really work.

Red's a sweet skinner too.

I just use the painjobs that come with the game, you can make it look pretty good, actually.

I have made a few DSL paint jobs using only what came with the game, after layers and layers of decals and edging I made a really cool design
