From my understanding, the MT part of this comes in making the paint job PERMANENT, so you wont lose those paint tokens if you die, enabling you to repaint your next bot very easily.  Without using MT tokens, you will lose your paint chips on death and have to find/buy new ones to get a new paint job.

Am I correct in this assumption?

Not quite, the MT item would be consumed upon finalizing the paint. So when you lose your robot the paint will be lost with it. But the plan is to accommodate our pricing structure to fit this mechanic.

Yes, I understand that the token will apply the paint, but will the paint items be consumed in the process?  And, can you apply the paint any other way?  Like if I just left those paint items on the paint screen when I undocked, would those show on my bot?

I just thought it would be cool if by buying the tokens, you circumvented the consumption of the paint items, so if you got blown up you could reapply those same colors easily without having to find/buy them again.  So the tokens wouldnt be the ability to apply paint, but to preserve the paint items for multiple uses.

Either way, I'm sure I'll be buying some!
