Paint by Number

All finishable weapons are divided into regions that define how the finish styles apply their colors and patterns.

The diagram on the right shows an example of how the four colors of a Solid Color Style finish might be applied.

Other paint by number charts control which areas can be anodized or given a patina, and where patterns and accent colors appear for Anodized Multicolored and Hydrographic styles.

There are also predefined areas on each weapon that don’t get refinished, such as shell casings, the inside of barrels, firing rods, etc.

The best way to visualize the paint by number areas on a weapon is to load it up in the CS2 Workshop Workbench and assign some colors.
