I don't have a problem with the separation of paints and protections, the new modules look very shiny and tempting to buy. What I don't understand is the prices of the paints.
So, the more popular paints are more expensive? Jaguar for 300k? seriously. no. A lot of these 'popular' (ridiculously expensive) paints were ONLY popular because of the protections they offered. So when you're only selling their cosmetic effect, the high price is stupid, no one will buy them.
I'm also confused why some paints have become even more expensive, like Zeus and Nano. Again, no one who doesn't already have the paint isn't going to pay that much for a pure cosmetic improvement. (which doesn't even look that good in my opinion)
Maybe people who are new will buy these paints, because they weren't playing when the paints came with protection and were half the price, but for people have been playing way before since this update was released, it's a kick in the face.
Oh, and the new things that come up when you press r, would be helpful if pressing r toggled it on and off so you didn't have to constantly hold down r, and tbh I think it's stupid anyway, it's a cluster of too much information in too small of a space.
TL;DR I like the modules but not the new pricing system for paints.
