How to unlock the Paint 'n Elbow Grease achievement in Fallout Shelter - Definitive Guide

EDIT: A couple people in the comments say that you can find these fragments before you build the room, I just did not come across any before that.

You will first need to unlock the Theme Workshop. I believe you need between 40-50 dwellers to unlock it (I don't remember exactly) and it costs 3,200 Caps. Once you build the room, you unlock the ability to find theme recipes on quests and in the Wasteland.

You can find these fragments on quests and in the Wasteland at any time. Once you find all nine recipe fragments, you will unlock this achievement. They are harder to find than junk, outfits, and weapons, but they are not super rare or anything. You can find them on the bodies of enemies or in the glowing areas of the vaults you are searching.

You can also instantly purchase all nine fragments using ~27 Nuka-Cola Quantum. You can find Nuka-Cola on quests or you can purchase some from the shop for real money.

Just FYI, if you spend Nuka Cola to unlock a theme, you will still find those fragments on quests, and when you return you get Caps for "duplicates"

You dont need to build the room in order to find fragments. Found a BoS fragment today and didnt even have the ability to build the room.

Mike731 is correct. You find pieces in the wasteland and on quests without ever having built the Theme Workshop.

It should be noted that as you find fragments of a particular recipe, the price to complete that recipe (nuka-cola), goes down.

I think you start to find theme fragments as soon as you fully upgrade your first room. I'm new to this game and I started getting fragments once I'd unlocked the option to change the theme for the first room I fully upgraded. I currently have 35 dwellers and about 10 theme fragments.

I have the same observation as ambersjohn. I collected lots of theme recipe fragments before I had enough dwellers to build the theme workshop. Eventully I had all 9 fragments for one theme recipe and the achievement popped. In fact, I noticed that it popped even before the screen came up where the new fragement gets added to complete the theme with the other other fragments I already had.

I didn't pop this achievement after crafting a theme and unlocking the pieces with Nuka Cola

I found all fragments on all themes prior to opening a theme shop. I created all the themes but it still has not popped. Not sure if having them prior to having the shop is an issue or not. Hopefully it will sort itself out.

You can get fragments for completing tasks, or you can buy a full-fledged theme for Quantum Cola, in the theme center.
There is no difference, the trophy will still count.

complete tasks, and if something remains uncollected, buy it for cola (it's cheap there).
I tried to collect it, I thought it was impossible to get it otherwise, so for 40 tasks only duplicates fell in and 3 parts of one topic could not be caught.
