Talk:Paints

I'm creating a gallery to illustrate paint varieties on the forums.

http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/complete-gallery-of-all-block-paint-combinations.

Thing is, I'd rather have this on wiki, not archived deep in the forum. But I do not have any wiki experience myself. Can someone give me advice? Is it at all feasible to create gallery with hundreds of pictures? If so, how it should be best done?

 * It is properly best to combine all of them in one picture, such as done on the Walls page. --0icke0 (talk) 11:52, 5 November 2013 (UTC)


 * You do not understand. Take a look at the OP of the linked thread. Each picture demonstrates how single block type (like dirt) will look under all paints (dirt painted black, dirt painted pink, etc). I guess, theoretically you could combine all 130 screenshots of 28 colored blocks into one picture, but it does not sound practical to me somehow. Nandorianen (talk) 13:03, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Deep Paint
It says that you need it to paint statues, but when I used white paint on a statue, it works. Is this because there's no Deep version of white, or is that note completely wrong? 70.189.75.144 01:20, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
 * That White can be used on statues due to having no Deep version seems to be right. As for non-Deep colors; despite the note's info these will paint statues, but only by adding a colored outline. As this outline is hardly notable one could say that Deep color - which will properly paint statues - is required. NoseOfCthulhu (talk) 03:45, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

I think I may have found a bug. I've figured out that you can paint the letter statues by placing the Paint Sprayer in an equippable accessory slot, then making six cans of deep paint - one for each tile that the letter statue takes up - and subsequently placing the letter statue somewhere. I've tried this with other letter statues and colours of deep paint and it works fine, but for some reason I can't paint an "I" statue with deep cyan paint.--24.114.97.157 06:44, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

New information regarding paint and grass.
If you would take a look at this Reddit post and read some of the comments, there is a little bit of information regarding how the game handles painted grass and its products. Shall I take the liberty of adding this information to the wiki or would somebody else like to do it?
 * You can go ahead and add it if you'd like, but I'd do a little more research first. In that thread it's mentioned that vines have similar behavior, and it's known that the same happens with doors, so there's likely some catch-all "blocks that create other paintable blocks spread their paint to the new block" behavior that could be looked into. Go ahead and add it though, couldn't hurt. Gearzein (talk) 22:23, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Wood-paint table
I have looked at the picture above "Wood shown painted all available colors." and I was disappointed by the fact that not every kind of wood was showcased there, so I painted every single kind of wood with every single kind of paint as of 1.2.4.1. You can find the thread here and the raw image here. I have no idea how to edit the wiki, so could somebody else change that file, please?
 * Gladly. I've uploaded the image and updated the page. This has been out of date for a while, unfortunately. Thanks for your contribution! Gearzein (talk) 16:46, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
