📋 About This Mod
Replaces the Military paint for all power armor to be black.
Also replaces the power armor frame texture, to be a bit darker.
UPDATE Updated the pallet files to be the correct 32 bit so no more crunchy colors. Also added a separate pallet file for the T51 armor.
OPTIONAL FILE: If you want all your base paints to be black, install the second file. Should black every base paint option.
Extract to: \Fallout 4\Data\Textures\Actors\powerarmor
I cant tell if its working or not with the mod manager, so if it doesn't... I guess download it manually?
