I did runs of Droids Storage Compartments and Control Modules yesterday so that I'd be able to make tools as soon as the patch came out... which seems to have been today.
So I colored my Speederbike... way cool, very fun. I colored a friend's Swoop Bike, equally cool.
I traveled to Bestine, and my bike lost its color. I sent a tell to my friend, who had stored her bike, and when she recalled it hers had also lost its color. So I sent a tell to another friend and he said that his customizations have been partially successful - sometimes the trim is gone but the frame stays colored.
While I was in Bestine I made a few storage compartments right outside the Starport for some people who needed them, and while I was doing so my bike auto-stored. (Yay SOE!) As I was waiting for the shuttle inside I pulled it out and lo and behold the color had held this time.
Good job pushing the patch out a day early, SOE. It's well and truely ready, at least by your standards. </sarcasm>

I wonder if all 'legacy' vehicles will be troublesome, the way older astromechs are...

Well, just another low-blow to Artisan/DE. I am beginning to truely believe their goal is to get people to leave this profession.

@#*&%*&*^$ No edit button!!! lol.
P.S. The vehicled didn't work right before, I had no hope for this 'vehicle coloring' thing to work right. My droid doesn't even retain color, and that was not on their list of fixes (the R2 issue is not what I am referring to), so I had no hope or belief that this would work, as it is just a clone of the same process.

Have one of you tried making a Droid Module Socket Clusteryet? I can't seem to find it in my list of craftable items anymore when opening the tool.

Further anecdotal evidence -
Many people are having no problems at all. My own experience continues to waffle around... sometimes the color sticks, sometimes only part of it sticks, sometimes it doesn't stick at all.
67% Vehicle Customization Tools have 7 charges, just FYI. Some people are selling 2-charge tools in Coronet for 5k. ROFLMAO.

Hmm...they fixed one thing that DE and Artisans have access to. But, in turn they broke 5 others...HAHAHA...Nice trade-off don't ya think?
I am dreading just the thought of looking at the Chef forum to see how much they got screwed.

Well this just keeps getting trippier and trippier...
Now my vehicle is holding its color just fine. The first colorization vanished completely. The second one only the trim vanished. Now the third one seems to be holding just fine.I have stored it and re-called it several times, both with and without travel, and it's still a very cool yellow on black.
I'm hearing from others who are having problems, too, but it seems like if you keep trying that eventually it works. I suppose it might have something to do with the vehicles all being pre-patch, but who knows.

Sounds like they need a couple good "coats" of paint... 
That's why they give you so many charges in each tool - you need to use them all for the color to stick...

if it was just from travelling, i would imagine it was along the lines of vehicles repairing after travelling. Some type of return to a default state.
Yeah, Socket Clusters have their own category now, I guess they're special.
You ever wonder if its a "General" Socket cluster because it originally was supposed to be placed into other schematics by other professions?

Did you traveled during a rainy day?
Who know, maybe it's water color.

More good news about vehicles:
It seems that any vehicle deeds that you use, whether newly made or pre-patch, will create a vehicle with 1500 HAM, no matter how well they were made.
So before pulling out any new vehicles, wait and see if this gets fixed.

Yep.... this was noticed and reported by the folks on Test Center before the launch. Nice little gift, huh?
