I don't know about 10s of thousands of years(because I literally don't know) but I know we have preserved paint from ancient Egypt, so its not new, and last I checked making your own paint was a thing taught in high school art class

Just got run into supermutant territory to get some ethanol, trek for 400 days through ghoul country to find some wheat flour, and then scour the wasteland for some turmeric or beets which haven't been harvested in 200 years and then I can make high school art class paint. Everything is incredibly easy to do without supply chains.

There were plenty of sheet metal shanties in Fallout 1 and 2 (much like today), but even the lovely towns were mostly like adobe or something Yeah, getting electricity, engines, and metallurgy is complex. Making reliable shelter doesn't have to be. Without the right books (or YouTube) it could take a few years of trial and error, but stuff like the Primitive Technologies guy makes can be made starting from basic resources including wood, rocks, and clay. Small wood, not even big timber. I imagine Bethesda didn't go that way fore A E S T H E T I C reasons. Dilapidated 200 year old buildings look post apocalyptic. A village of snug huts and cabins just looks primitive. Anyway,

Everybody talking about post apocalyptic fiction and nobody mentions A Canticle for Leibowitz? I’m ashamed of you all. It’s set after a nuclear war and follows society as it rebuilds itself. Focuses a lot on the catholic church’s role as a preserver, and gatekeeper, to knowledge. It’s set in three major sections. The first is right after the apocalypse, where there’s a wave of anti intellectualism and an order of monks sets out to preserve, but not understand, old writings. The second section is set during the Renaissance, where electricity is eventually rediscovered. The main conflict there is that a monk is traveling to give some rediscovered blueprints to the pope, as well as a gift of an illuminated blueprint that he had spent years making. He’s robbed by mutant bandits on the way, but manages to talk them into only stealing the illuminated blueprint and leaving him with the ancient blueprints. The third section is set during the new modern era, where society has just set off the nukes again, and discusses whether or not it’s ethical to perform assisted suicide on people who have received lethal doses of radiation. It’s a good book, you should all check it out. Bit of a slow read, but if you’re looking for post apocalypse fiction that actually focuses on rebuilding things, you’ll like it

God drat it, the main reason to paint your house is not to make it pretty, but to make it not rot because it's made of wood. If your house is made of, say, bricks or metal or concrete, painting is nonessential, as evident by all the unpainted brick houses of the world. Metal is not actually a good building material in terms of heating, but it's easy to build out of quickly, which has a lot of value when you have to survive without agriculture (seriously, where are the fields?). And since metal plates are plentiful, why not just use those and not paint them because they won't rust for a long time and when they do they can be replaced easily.

DC was getting lashed by radioactive storms blowing in from the midwest until just a few decades before the game starts. It doesn't look like 200 years of recovery because there wasn't 200 years of recovery; DC got pounded into the dirt and then covered with more, radioactive dirt.
