I think there are realskinn variants that can change color, so it’s kinda practical actually.

Pretty sure they have to sign contracts agreeing to stuff like this before being given the job.

“Yeah, listen, you have a black shirt? I have a gig for you: waiter, smart-casual event in the waterfront and we need more people. Our regulars died in a shootout with some boosters yesterday.
Oh, and if you could come early so we can flay you and install some realskin over your upper half, that would be grrreat.
No, of course you can’t keep the skin after, silly, but you _could_ get into this superb paying scheme to rent it.”

Seems to me that, just like all the cyberwear V installs, getting it installed might make it easier to get certain jobs in the first place. There might be fixers who specialize in finding staff for shindigs like this, and people who look all shiny (look at the staff at Konpeki) might be en vogue right now.
You want it more cyberpunky? Okay, there’s fixers who will “give you the upgrade for free an’ all you have to do is work a few gigs to pay back the cost, ‘kay? Simple, you’ll be earnin’ in no time.”
“‘Course you pay for the maintenance treatments. What were you expecting? Yes, I know it’s been a year now but you’re startin’ to make a dent in the principal. Look, I got this gig, pays well, big earner, jus’ smile, be nice.”
“Where? Dogtown…”
“Huscle? No, you won’t need protection, it’s for Kurt Hansen.”
“There’s some extra eddies to be made, y’know, after… a couple of his officers really like the gold skin in their companions.”
“I know you’re not a doll, babe, but can’t you jus’ be… nice…?”

Question: Couldnt it simply be akin to a doll chip ?
The doll chips can be used to transform your body into whatever kind of body you want from your joytoy.
I dont think it would be out of the reach to simply have this bronze body color be a part of the uniform..
Or it could be just Arasaka asserting dominance by requiring their employees to get this done as a way to say “Yeah. You belong to us. We own you.”

Why does everyone keep assuming these are full conversions? That sort of thing is wildly expensive and impractical, not to mention dangerous. You were so close, it *is* overkill for a job at a mega corp hotel, because it’s just metallic colored skin.

what if it’s body paint
But I enjoyed the beverage more.
