unfortunately the pre Clan Mechs like the Blackjack do have low res and matte patterns, the patterns on newer Mechs usualy look much better, the BJ1-A Arrow hero Mech has a perlescent finish
(although you cannot change the pattern) and annoyingly back in beta the original 8
(I think) Mechs used to look much better
(although in well used and warn out kind of way)
also in your screenshot you have selected unlockable patterns, you would be better off changing it to 1 shot because the 1 shot is 1/10 the price for a single application to a single Mech where as the unlock is unlimited applications to any Mech of that chassis, so pay e.g. 125mc to apply once to a single blackjack or pay 1250 for unlimited applications to any Blackjack
(except the Arrow Hero Mech because for now Heroes have unchangeable patterns, although that may change in future), the price varies depending on pattern.
