Shielding & Paint
Note: Not all paint jobs are available on all parts.
Each part of the power armor can be painted or shielded separately. Paint jobs however only have an effect when the entire armor is painted in the same scheme, while shield coatings are effective per separate armor part and don't require a full set. As a general rule: paint, besides modifying the statistics of your armor, also adds a cosmetic effect to the power armor. While shield coatings on the other hand leave the appearance of an armor unchanged (winterized coating being the exception in this)
Certain paint schemes and shields are limited to specific power armor models, while others are available for all power armors. Raider power armor cannot be painted or shielded at all. Painting does not require any materials with the exception of Vault-Tec paint and Militairy paint.

Armored clothing
Many articles of clothing can have damage and energy resistance added at an armor workbench. See ballistic weave for details.
Notes
- Each time a new mod is built, the Sole Survivor receives a small number of XP.
- Armor mods in the "Mods" tab in the Pip-Boy represent those mods that have been removed from armor one has modded. They are available for use on other armor of the same type without crafting them again. These un-used mods can be stored in a workbench, and will be available at the armor workbench.
- You need to acquire and increase the Armorer perk to mod more advanced armor pieces (i.e. "Sturdy" or "Heavy"). However, you can apply mods made for lesser armor pieces to more advanced pieces of the same material type. For example, you can make a studded leather mod for an ordinary leather chest piece, and then move it to a sturdy or heavy leather chest piece. This allows you to bypass the inability to make mods for those advanced pieces directly.
- The shadowed mod for leather armor, metal armor and combat armor will also significantly darken the color of such items. Similarly, the polymer and fiberglass armor mods will brighten the color of such items.
