How to unlock the Budding Artist achievement in Rocket League - Definitive Guide

You can only unlock painted items online.

I simply played 5 matches of Standard 3v3 online (the game mode does not matter) and unlocked a Painted Top Hat at the end of the fifth game.

It may take longer for you though since it is down to luck and will unlock at random.

Note: There is apparently a 10 hour weekly limit to earning rewards, if you find you are no longer earning items simply wait until the following week.

* With the last update trading was introduced into the game. You can now receive Painted and Certified items via another player. The achievement has been reported to be rather glitchy when unlocking via trading.

However, according to user MacWhyte after recieving your painted item from a friend, switching profiles at the main menu and then switching back to your profile unlocks the achievement immediately. If not then waiting 24 hours after you received the painted item works as well according to many users.

Does anybody know if there is any rhyme or reason to how you get the items? I got an item drop five matches in a row and then didn't get an item for seven straight matches.

It's pretty freaking random. I've played around 20 matches the last two days since the DLC went live. Probably won 13 with 5 MVPs. Including 5 in a row at least once.

I've only got 1 painted item and no certified. The painted came when I gained a player level but that might have been coincidence.

Opposite for me. Played 4 hours worth of games without a break and got a certified on my 5th game and then nothing for the rest of the 3 n half hours. Not even kidding. This new DLC is awful. Just a huge luck based grind

Do you have to be playing with certain items already equipped, or does it not matter what you have on your car? I like to change things up occasionally with toppers, flags, and rocket trails.

@Grego McGee I'm not so sure that's true to be honest. I was winning (and losing) games without being MVP (because I stay in goal) and was getting items although it was very rare and very random when they came.

The drop rate just seems to have dropped drastically without explanation. I'm hoping it gets patched and isn't intentional.

This achievement is sort of glitched. Well the achievement pops up right, but the game glitches the item gift. Before I popped the achievement, I got 2 painted items on the main menu screen, which didn't seem to trigger the achievement. As soon as I got the painted item at the end of a match, at the team/player screen, the achievement popped normally.

Played every night since the update on the 20th and have received no painted items. Pretty obtuse achievement as it is pretty clear the drop rate has been severely reduced just so we play it more. Saying that; all the rest were really easy and I do have tons of fun playing.

I got my first painted item last night and got the achievement with it too so the glitch must be random. Sorry to those that it didn't work for. I earned it via matches rather than a trade. Has taken hours and hours of playing games. Painted item I got was crap too some wheels where the colour difference was so slight that I couldn't even tell the difference.

This is the craziest thing I've ever heard. Well, not the craziest but that can't be true because according to that it is to compete with individuals idling to a full inventory but you can't even idle or cheat the game because you'd be kicked from the matches (within about 20 seconds). I genuinely don't understand what "they" are getting at. But I do know the drop rate is absolutely brutal. If this was even made public officially it would just encourage people to actually stop playing the game which is the opposite of what they'd want.

I got lucky last night and got the item and the freaking achievement. And so the grinding for the certified item begins.

I've played a lot this last couple weeks trying to get this achievement, easily over 10 hours. But after the last update I can safely say I played well under 10 hours. Just my 2 cents.

By danlher360 on 13 Jul 2016 18:52
Apparently the 10 hour limit is real, I read this in Psyonyx Forum:

Psyonix-Kyle wrote:
Hey, everyone. The weekly 10-hour limit of online play resets every Friday or after you get an online item drop. As you play more online matches it increases your chances for an item to drop. I am not seeing widespread issues with this and we've looked at it internally and it's working fine. I will keep my eye on this, but the main thing to know is that items can take some time to drop and you have to play online to count towards that 10-hour mark each week.

Idling for ten hours overnight has net me 16 items over the past 2 weeks (8 both weeks). I have gotten 1 certified, 3 painted, 1 very rare, and 11 uncommon. Once you have your items you can trade them in for another chance at something good.

I Was like the 3rd person in the world to get both certified achievements, and now, after getting like 5 other certified items, I can never get this painted item. I get an item every 10-15 matches, which means I don't get anything ever. Fix the fucking drop rate psyonix, because before this update I actually liked this game.

I'm not convinced of the 10 hour limit, I stepped away from the game for awhile, came back played 2 matches and finally got an item (not painted or certified, was a common topper). Since then I've played another 5-10 matches and not gotten anything.

What I *did* notice though was right around the time I got that item I had levelled up, so I'm wondering if you always get an item if you jump a level.

I can confirm the 10 hour limit, as I have done consecutive afk grinding sessions overnight. You will not get items after playing for ten hours. The reset is some time Friday. so I usually get my 10 hours during the weekend.

By Unmet Player on 24 Jul 2016 05:00
To add further weight to the 10 hour theory resetting on Friday: I've been playing a few matches a day all week and got nothing until yesterday (Saturday) when I got a painted item, and an uncommon topper. Today (Sunday) I got my certified item.

I can confirm you can get the achievement if a friend is trading you a painted item.
Because I played Rocket League before via Steam I already had many painted items so I traded one painted item from me for one painted item from my mate. Achievement unlocked straight after it.

Should I get these as a drop in game? I have blueprints for a painted item, but not got the item without paying mody to make the blueprint. TA says I've been playing 15 hours so far :)

Had issues getting a painted item. Turned out that painted items are not granted as a random rewards after a match anymore. Only through cup rewards and objectives.
I finally got mine by completing 22/24 free objectives. As a rewards I got three drop boxes and all of them contained a painted item.

@Deathwing I've had a lot of problems with cheevos not unlocking this past year. What I do sometimes is power cycle my Xbox and the achievement usually pops when I sign back in to XBL.

I am all about achievements do not get me wrong, but lets just stop and think about this for a second...."Not everything is going to be patterned just for our convenience and our need for things to fall in to place etc, these are not designed to be guaranteed after x amount of matches etc". Honestly...I think the game should just be enjoyed, and once you do finally get the item you require you may well find yourself not so negative about the game. I find too many people take this level of impatience to a whole new level and then they start blaming the game on how it has bad mechanics and that the game is rubbish blah-de-blah. I've put 4-5 hours in and still not got a painted item, but the game is seriously fun, so when I get it, I will get it.

I have read a few articles saying that it is true and was mentioned in the update I looked around cause I couldn't get one for like 10 hours plus so I looked into it and that's what I read I'm not 100 percent sure if that's true but it would explain alot

Apparently the 10 hour limit is real, I read this in Psyonyx Forum:

Psyonix-Kyle wrote:
Hey, everyone. The weekly 10-hour limit of online play resets every Friday or after you get an online item drop. As you play more online matches it increases your chances for an item to drop. I am not seeing widespread issues with this and we've looked at it internally and it's working fine. I will keep my eye on this, but the main thing to know is that items can take some time to drop and you have to play online to count towards that 10-hour mark each week.

^ I thought Pedle Zelnip was onto something with getting items when you level up as I'd hardly been getting any drops until I just got a painted 'Derby' topper. I was Level 23 & 1 bar away from Levelling up so I think this is just random I'm afraid.

+1 for the solution anyway

If you've unlocked all the standard stuff, toppers, decals, antennas etc. you probably won't get a drop after each game anymore

Yup, I think it is random. After the last item pop nothing, and I got about 2/3rds of the way through level 22 when my painted item finally popped.

Looks like it is just random and a really, really, really low drop rate. Horrible achievement.

Hey All,

I was struggling with this achievement for ages but believe i've finally cracked it through a combination of all solutions posted on the internet and seeing so many comments about people unlocking after they had a second painted item - Try this out!

Potential Solution To Bug:
Note: You will need someone else with 10 minutes and 2 painted items for this method to work

Firstly, Get your achievement hunting sidekick to trade you one painted item without you trading anything back in return. Then, equip the item and head into any online game. If it doesn't unlock immediately after the trade, or after completing the game with the equipped item, hard reset your Xbox (Press and hold the X on the console down for 10 seconds) with the item still equipped.

Restart your Xbox and grab hold of your achievement hunting sidekick again so they can trade you their second item; without you trading anything in return. Achievement popped up immediately after I had the second item in my inventory with my painted tires still equipped on my car. If this doesn't work straight away I would recommend repeating the process or just keep trading back and forth until it does pop-up. Always keep one painted item equipped however!

Let me know if this works and I'll spread the word.

Cheers.

I unlocked my painted item online!
As we know, you can only unlock them online!

You simply have to play online games.

- It doesn't matter which typ of matches they are (3v3, 2v2, ...).
(I unlocked mine while playing with a friend 2v2 unranked)

- It also doesn't matter if they are ranked or unranked.

- And it also doesn't matter if you lose or win the game.
(I lost my match 3:5)

It's simply based on luck! You can unlock the painted item after 5 or after 50 matches.
Just keep playing and you will get it.

There's apparently a 10 hour limit per-week that you can earn items. It resets a week after your last item drop. This is all from comments in my "Certified" solution so I can't say from experience. It does explain why I'm not getting items either.

Can this be obtained in private online matches? That's probably the most important piece of information and it's missing from your solution.

Don't understand why people down vote. What they aspect? You simply have to play online matches and it could be a lot of matches. The 10 hour limit could be true coz my friend also doesn't unlock items after matches. And i don't know if you can unlock them in privat matches, i played online 2v2 unranked. It's only based on luck..

I was going 10-15 games with no items. They may drop more frequently during that first 10 hours, but it's definitely possible to get it. It took 6 days of playing to finally get my painted item. In the process of looking for it I got all the other achievements.

I have a solution for those who have had this achievement glitch on them. Everyone seems to be saying it works.

Solution:
1. Sign out of your main account
2. Sign into an alt account
3. Start a public online match
4. During the match, press the Xbox button and sign in your main account
5. Go back to Rocket League and you should see a message saying "Primary User has no controller". Select the "Quit" option.
6. You should be taken back to the title screen. Press any button to go to the main menu.
7. You will be signed in on your main account in Rocket League and hopefully the achievement will unlock.

Story:
I unlocked a painted item and the achievement did not unlock. So I tried equipping the item and completing an online match and still nothing. Then I tried restarting my console and doing the same thing again and still nothing.

Due to the 10 hour limit on earning items, I farmed items on an alt account, trying to get a painted item but had no luck. So I did exactly what was mentioned in the solution by accident and the achievement finally unlocked.

I hope this solution helps you get your achievement.

I just confirmed that this does work when painted item is collected through trading and you do not have to have the item equipped to your main account car. Just having the painted item in my inventory was enough. Also I collected my painted item through trade months ago and just gave up until now. So I'm not sure about the 24 hour theory. Anyway. Thanks for the help! This was my last achievement to get.

I cannot find the original guide / comment, so I'm reposting it here.

If for some reason you can't get a painted item yourself, just asking someone who has such an item to trade it with you.
Except you don't even need to complete the actual trade; just have them put the item up in the trade window and the achievement will pop!

This also works with the 'Certifiable' achievement. I can confirm this with multiple instances.

if you guys need any painted items, add me on xbox - lucaas783 and dm me on xbox. i have over 850 painted items and i'm willing to give anybody one item if they need this achievement. just make sure you're over level 35 and have bought the 500 credits pack to unlock trading. (only if you are a f2p player then you need to buy the pack).

After Patch 1.22 there are 3 methods to get this trophy.

Method 1:
Play public online casual or ranked games. (I personally had better "luck" in casual 2v2 or 3v3 games) It doesn't matter how many players and long as it is an online game. It also doesn't matter if you are on the winning or losing team. At the completion of some games you will get random goodies, such as toppers, antennas, decals ect. For this trophy, you need to get a painted one. Once you've obtained a painted item at the end of the game, then the trophy will pop. You can view your items in the manage inventory screen.

Method 2:
You can trade 5 uncommon to get a rare or trade 5 rare to get an ultra rare in an attempt to get a painted item.

Method 3: Only available with Patch 1.22
Trade items with a friend. Create a party and have a trading partner join. Scroll down to select their name it will bring up a menu. Scroll to the bottom and select Invite to Trade. This will bring you to the trade screen where you can both select items to trade to each other and either give or receive a painted item.

Use the Trading Thread created by Terminator to find a trading partner.

This achievement is going to require some luck. You can only unlock a painted item at the end of an online match as a reward; this can't be acquired in private matches or exhibition matches. You could get this in two matches or you could get it in a hundred matches...it's completely random.

Painted items have an attribute that recolors an existing item. Wheels and Toppers seem to be the items that be acquired as “painted” items. Below is an example of a painted item; you'll notice it'll list the color and say "painted" in the description.

Alternatively, if you know someone that has a painted item, there is now item trading feature in the game. Just have them trade the item to you and once equipping the item this achievement should unlock.

The painted item can only be obtained by playing online (regardless of ranked matches or not). Regardless of winning or losing the match, an item will drop after the match. And then it’s completely random, if you’re lucky, then the desired item will appear. There is no way to speed up the process.

The chance of dropping is very small, it’s easier to find a person who will give the item for the trophy. Forum thread .
