Paint System Guide
Deep-dive into Meccha Chameleon's painting mechanics — palette, eyedropper, brushstrokes, and advanced color techniques.
The Eyedropper Tool
Right-click while in paint mode (F key) to activate the eyedropper. This samples the exact color from any surface — walls, floors, props, and even other players. The eyedropper is your most important tool; never guess a color.
- Sample multiple points on the same surface to account for lighting variation
- Chain samples to build smooth gradients across your body
- The eyedropper also controls brush size — right-click drag to adjust
Color Palette
The full color wheel gives you access to any hue. Combined with saturation and brightness sliders, you can match virtually any surface in the game.
Brush Textures & Patterns
Solid Brush
Default brush for base color application. Good for large areas.
Pattern Brush
Apply repeating patterns to match checkered floors, wallpaper, or tiles.
Gradient Tool
Blend two colors smoothly — essential for matching lighting transitions.
Texture Brush
Add surface texture (rough, smooth, metallic) to complete the disguise.
Metallic & Roughness Sliders
Two often-overlooked sliders that make a huge difference. Metallic controls how reflective your surface appears; Roughness controls how matte or glossy it looks. Match these to the surface you're mimicking — a matte brick wall needs low metallic and high roughness.
