Making one paint ammo blueprint gives you 1 unit and painting a block uses 1 on every update and it updates 10 times a second. Multiple people painting will speed up the process just like welders/grinders. The paint speed is also affected by the world's welder (for painting) and grinder (for removing paint) speed multipliers.

You also have the replace-color feature in creative, using Shift+R to toggle the mode and click on a block to replace all blocks which have that color.Ī small ship armor block will be painted really fast while a large ship large container will be painted really slowly. In creative it's always instant and doesn't need ammo. How it works in detailIn survival the paint process is not instant, and the speed depends on the difference between colors (if it's a totally different hue then it needs to first remove the color) and it also depends on the size and side surface area.
