Paint Tool, also known as the Spray Tool, is a tool in Scrap Mechanic.

Overview[]

The Paint Tool can paint Blocks, Interactive Parts, and Parts a variety of colors.

Usage[]

Left mouse paints with the currently selected color. Right mouse removes the color from painted objects. Multiple blocks can be painted or cleared of color by dragging with the respective mouse button, similar to placing or removing multiple blocks at once.

To change the color painted with, press Q (or "next rotation" key) to open the color selection GUI. To close it without selecting a color, press Q or Escape.

In Survival Mode, the Paint Tool requires Paint Ammo as ammunition. Each painting action uses one Paint Ammo. This includes both painting a single block and painting multiple blocks at once.

The Paint Tool can be used to in conjunction with level 5 Sensors for its color detecting mode.
