Stickers & Customization Guide — Decorate Devices and Unlock Sticker Achievements
ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs stickers and customization guide — where to buy stickers, how to apply them, painting devices, the three sticker achievements (Instant Cool, Instant Cool-er, Sticker Bombing), and the fastest way to 100 sticker applications.
Overview
ReStory lets you make every repair yours: stickers and paint turn finished devices into customized pieces of Y2K nostalgia — and chasing the sticker milestones is a fast, cheap path to three achievements. This guide covers where stickers come from, how painting works, and the fastest route to 100 applications.
Stickers — What They Are
- Cosmetic decorations you buy and apply to devices — purely decorative, no gameplay effect on repair outcomes
- Bought from the depot store's "accessory" tabs
- Applied to devices before they go back to the customer (the same hand-off as painting)
Sticker application also counts toward sticker-count achievements (below), which makes the "useless" cosmetic system one of the easiest achievement farms in the game.
Painting Devices
- Custom Orders Available — you can paint a client's device before returning it (tied to the "Custom Orders Available" achievement)
- Painting is part of the customization step in the repair flow — after repair, before return
- A device can combine paint, cleaning, repair, and reprogramming in one order (the Jack of All Trades achievement needs exactly that mix)
Sticker Achievements
| Achievement | Condition | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Instant Cool | Apply a sticker to a device | The first of the three; unlocks early (33.6% of players per Steam stats) |
| Instant Cool-er | Apply 25 stickers to devices | Requires deliberate sticker use |
| Sticker Bombing | Apply 100 stickers to devices | The grindy one — but cheap to farm |
All three are straightforward: buy stickers, apply them, repeat.
Fastest Way to 100 Sticker Applications
- Buy stickers in bulk from the depot accessory tabs whenever you visit the depot — don't wait for a specific occasion
- Sticker every device you repair — even small walk-in jobs count one application each
- Combine with painting: a painted-and-stickered device covers customization in a single order
- Chain with the repair grind: the Achievement Guide recommends folding sticker application into normal repair routines — no detour needed, roughly one sticker per device repaired
- Marketplace flips count too: restored and resold devices (see the Money & Profit Guide) can be stickered before resale — two uses per device
At roughly one device per order and one sticker per device, 100 stickers falls out of normal play in the mid-game — you only need to remember to apply them.
Sticker Economy Tips
- Stickers are cheap — they're the low-cost entry into the accessory tab, and they never affect repair success or customer satisfaction (awaiting confirmation on any hidden customer reactions, but no reports so far)
- They're the cheapest achievements in the game — no license, no rare parts, no competition wins required; just depot trips and device hand-offs
- Customization before return — remember the paint-and-sticker step happens at the return hand-off, the same step where kids' origami requests and delivery-agent interactions trigger (see the Story Walkthrough)
