The BOS elder paint, BOS sentinel paint, BOS paladin paint and BOS knight paint are power armor paint schemes in Fallout 4.
Characteristics
Edit
It is a paint scheme with a metal base and the Brotherhood of Steel logo on the chest.
All the Brotherhood of Steel paint schemes are only available on T-60 power armors.
The only difference between the high-rank-paint jobs (paladin, sentinel, elder) is the rank badge on the lower left arm. The appearance of the armor does however change visibly from the knight to the paladin paint.

With the addition of the "Captain Cosmos" Creation Club content, the Paladin paint can also be added to the CC-00 power armor, but does not add any weight. It requires oil x2 and steel x2 per piece painted.
It can also be added to the Creation Club's Hellfire power armor, with exception to the Elder paint scheme.

Effects
Edit
When all parts of the power armor are painted with a paint scheme that boosts Strength, the armor provides a +1 bonus to Strength.
Acquisition
Edit

Edit
While this paint scheme exists in the game, it is only obtainable through the use of console commands or mods. Uses the prefix "BOS I."
Knight paint scheme

Knight sergeant paint scheme
Edit
The Knight Sergeant power armor paint scheme is unique and is only found on Knight Sergeant Gavil during Airship Down or Rockets' Red Glare. Uses the prefix "BOS III."
Knight captain paint scheme
Edit
The Knight Captain power armor paint scheme is unique and is only found on Knight-Captain Larsen during the quest Search and Destroy in the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor You can obtain it by shooting out or pickpocketing his fusion core then taking it before you talk to him. Uses the prefix "BOS IV."
If the Sole Survivor begins the attack on Acadia before obtaining the armor it will likely become unobtainable.
Paladin paint scheme
Edit
Once the Sole Survivor has been granted the rank of paladin by completing the quest Blind Betrayal, the paint scheme is available for crafting at power armor stations. Uses the prefix "BOS V."
Killing Paladin Danse at the Cambridge Police Station won't allow the player character to loot the armor pieces from his body. It simply doesn't appear on his body when dead.
Sentinel paint scheme
Edit
Once the Sole Survivor has been granted the rank of Sentinel by completing the quest A New Dawn, the paint scheme is available for crafting at power armor stations. Uses the prefix "BOS VI."
Elder paint scheme
Edit
The BOS elder paint cannot be applied by the Sole Survivor on a power armor. The only occurrence of the paint scheme in the base game is on Arthur Maxson's power armor during the quest Airship Down. However, it may rarely spawn on the Power armor frame at the Morton residence in Nuka-World. Uses the prefix "BOS VII."
Notes
Edit
The following console commands can be used to make the paint schemes available without doing any of the required quests:
- set bospaintjobknight to 1 for the knight paint scheme.
- set bospaintjobpaladin to 1 for the paladin paint scheme.
- set bospaintjobsentinel to 1 for the sentinel paint scheme.
