How do I paint my scuplture by hand using shapes?
I recently sculpted a character, but whenever I go to use the spray paint tool in sculpt mode it either doesn't work or it doesn't paint with the colors I selected. So, I need to know how to properly use it. Do I need to tweak the tint amount, the color saturation, or what can I do to properly paint my character?

There are 2 ways to color sculpts: From within sculpt mode, and using the tint amount/color/hue shift tweaks in the sculpt's properties.
Tint overrides any coloring you do in sculpt mode like a second coat of paint. So if it's set to 200%, any painting you do in sculpt mode will appear to have no effect.
If you ask me, the color options in the tweak menu should be relabelled to something like "second layer" and "tint" should be relabelled to "opacity" (and have a range of 0-100%). I feel that would be more intuitive. -
Another way of fixing the tint issue, without leaving sculpt mode, is to turn off styles (menu > show/hide > styles). This will instantly turn off any tints etc. you already have so you can see the "true" colours of the sculpt itself, and spraypaint as normal. This setting doesn't affect play mode, though. So remember to turn "styles" on again after you're done so you can see what it will *really* look like when playing.

Tips for painting:
1. If you want a solid colour with no variation then you can use the colour wheel in the objects tweak menu.With 200% saturation you will not be able to see any spraypainting on your model.
2. If you want to spraypaint, DO NOT use coat mode first - any coat will put the tint amount up to the maximum and you will not be able to see your spraypaint
3. Make sure you are scoped into the object you want to spraypaint or it will not work (even though you can hear the spray)
4. For surface designs, such as writing or texturing use the Surface snap button in the Guides menu so that your brush paints only on the surface of your shape.
5. There is a limit to how many shapes of colour you can use. The thermometer for this only appears when you have reached a very high amount and are about to go over. Watch for this. If you max out the number of shapes you cannot add any more, and it is not possible to remove coloured shapes other than to rewind with the left D pad (and you have a limit on how many times you can do that).
6. Sometimes the colour you have chosen does not select. Make sure your chosen colour is in the palette indicator before starting to paint.
7.Experiment with shape, blend and opacity to get different effects.
8. If you chose a base colour for your shapes when sculpting it makes it easier to paint afterwards, especially if you have multiple layers within the same sculpt (getting a spraypaint brush into a small area can be tricky).
9. Note that different texture styles also affect how the colour looks. For example shiny wax makes the colours slightly yellow, while rough metal darkens them considerably (white becomes dark grey for example)..
10. Changing the shape of the brush will reset all your blend settings, so be careful that you check the settings are how you want them before painting.
