Just because you’re battling a giant monster spider train, doesn't mean you can't look good while doing it. Choo-Choo Charles presents a bizarre and frightening scenario, where you have to operate and upgrade your own train to survive.

Among those upgrades includes 12 different paint options, which are unlocked through the discovery of paint cans throughout the map. Collect every lost can, and you’ll even earn the “Dripped Out” achievement. Here’s how.

Quick Reference Guide

This section will offer a quick and dirty breakdown of each paint can and their locations. For quick reference, consult either the image above or the bullet list below. For more detailed information, consult the following entries for each can.

Many of these cans require the lockpicking skill. So be sure to consult the NPC that unlocks this ability.

  • Yellow: Start the game with.
  • Orange: Inside Sgt Flint’s burning shack.
  • Red: Inside the Central Mine
  • Magenta: Atop the Lookout Tower in the center of the map.
  • Purple: Outside Pickle Cave.
  • Blue: Inside the Northern Mine.
  • Cyan: At the docks to the North.
  • Green: Inside the Eastern Mine.
  • Lime: In the Two Towers on the West side.
  • White: At the old train stop in the center of the map.
  • Gray: In a shack near the Eastern docks.
  • Black: Inside the Church to the North.

Where To Find The Orange Paint Can

On the South-Eastern side of the island is Sgt. Flint, who asks you to put out the fire engulfing his shack. Do so, and go inside to find the orange paint can.

Where To Find The Red Paint Can

First, get the Mine Key from the NPC on the North-West side of the island, in the house near the church.

Proceed through the Central Mine, stealthing past two guards. Take the elevator down and stealth past another guard, continuing forward until you find the Red Egg. Past the egg and down the tunnel to the left is an elevator out and a locked chest. Lockpick the chest open to find the red paint can.

Where To Find The Magenta Paint Can

In the middle of the island, a bit west of the spooky area with the eight pages, is a wooden lookout tower. Ascend the tower and look for a locked chest. Unlock it to find the magenta paint can.

Where To Find The Purple Paint Can

Near the middle of the island (but more south than the magenta can area) is Pickle Cave. The pickle lady NPC will direct you to this area. Outside the cave, under some cover is the purple paint can.

Where To Find The Blue Paint Can

First, get the Mine Key from the story NPC on the North-Eastern side of the island. Then proceed to the Northern Mine. Progress through the mine until you find a scary door on the left. Go that way. Wait for the guard to pass then take a left, following that tunnel until another left turn can be made. You’ll be in a small room with a locked chest. Unlock it for the blue paint can.

Where To Find The Cyan Paint Can

On the Northernmost tip of the island is a dock. At the end of the dock is the cyan paint can.

Where To Find The Green Paint Can

First get the Mine Key from the story NPC to the South. Then progress through the Eastern Mine until you reach your first left turn. Take it to find a locked chest at the end. Unlock it to get the green paint can.

Where To Find The Lime Paint Can

On the West side of the island, a bit inland, are two wooden towers. Enter the left tower, go up a floor, and jump across to the right tower. Go down a level to find the lime paint can on a table.

Where To Find The White Paint Can

Almost dead center on the map is a train stop with an NPC. Go upstairs and past the room with the nice carpet to find the white paint can on the overlook, behind a crate.

Where To Find The Gray Paint Can

On the East side of the island is a dock with a few buildings. The gray paint can is under one of the two small shacks.

Where To Find The Black Paint Can

On the North-Western side of the island is an old church. The black paint can is sitting on one of the pews.
