Really? I can't choose a new skin and paint my Founders mech? I was waiting for this patch for the ability to paint my Hunchbacks, specifically my 4G(F), only to find I can't paint the one mech that I've really been wanting to. I'm highly disappointed. =/

I hope this isn't intentional, and we'll be given some options soon?

Perhaps you should have read the founders package before buying it. It explicitly said you will get a mech with a unique skin that will not be able to be modified.

I can change one channel on my Founders Jenner. But it doesn't really "show" - to dark/light or something. Meh, im not paying for camo until its permanantly tied to my account anyway. Not paying premium prices for something that is lost if I remove it.

Planetside 2 lets you buy "1 time" camo for 10% of the price of "permanant" camo. I'd like that.

Check out the 4Gs head, messed up. They've done something to the textures

It's not awful, at all. It's what you purchased. It was stated explicitly in the description.

If you want to paint them, buy the same variant and paint to your heart's content.

You got what you paid for. If you don't like it, well... turn it into a learning experience.

I like my 4G Founders mech. It's exactly the same as a normal 4G. Why should I be forced to buy another just to be able to paint it in my outfit's colors? I'm perfectly willing to spend MC on paint and patterns for it. Why am I not allowed? =/

because 5 million dollars is not enough to justify creating new paint skins on only a small number of mechs (4 founder's mech). the founder mechs are unique, those regular paint skin on the normal 4g might not fit the founder's 4g.. same goes for other models.

Not particularly interested in camos for the founder's. Being able to adjust the base colour though. Why just leave it at the band?
