📋 About This Mod
I've made a new mod as a successor to this mod, which includes higher quality texture work, replacer/non-replacer variants, more BOS variants, and less intrusive implementation. However, there is no longer a BOS hood or a T60 paintjob. This older version of the mod still works, however I encourage you to take a look at the new version here.
Description
Adds 3 items to the game based on classic Fallout. A T51 paint job based on the sprite (West Coast Vintage), a T51 paint job based on the Brotherhood talking heads incl. insignia (Brotherhood Vintage), and an alternative color for the BOS hood based on the hood Cabbot wears in FO1. NOT A REPLACER.
The West Coast Vintage paint has more of a teal look and shinier metal (based on the sprite), while the BOS paint is duller, darker, and has a more olive green to it's paint based on the talking heads.
Now includes T-60 variant.
Extra Variants
Brotherhood Vintage
Vintage BOS Hood
Installation
Drag and drop textures into your data folder.
Hood is crafted from a regular hood at any armor workbench, paint is painted on at any PA station.

✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 485 endorsements and over 110k downloads — clearly a hit before it went obsolete.

For Fallout 4 players who want to rock the classic T-51b paint from the original Fallout and don't mind an older mod. If you're a lore enthusiast or just want a fresh look for your power armor, this is worth checking out. Skip if you need active support or modern updates.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is marked obsolete, check the mod's description page on Nexus for the author's notes on why it's obsolete and if there's a recommended replacement.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install this manually or via the manager — it's a simple file drop, but make sure to enable it in your load order.
- For best results, apply the paint to a standard T-51b suit — the hood might clip with certain helmets, so test it out.
