Yes, complete the quest and you get to keep it all. Most of the unique clothing options (Silver Shroud outfit, Minuteman General, etc) can’t be modded with ballistic weave. Can you put ballistic weave on silver shroud? It’s not possible to add ballistic weave onto the vault suits until after you unlock the ability in the relative quest(s). If you are friendly with the Institute, you can just trot down to the bottom floor and pick up your armor. Of course, once you get to the abandoned shack, you’ll find that it is actually a military installation filled with synths. The Institute Paint Job can ONLY be acquired if you side with the Institute at the end of the game – at which point its Paint Livery is added to the Mod Menu at any Power Armor Crafting Station.
