So why can't they have technology that makes their netting blend in with their skin tone like they do their surroundings in the movies. BUT WHY DO THEY HAVE IT?

I believe there have been a couple of stabs at explaining the netting. One I read theorizes that the netting somehow plays into the cloaking mechanics like it helps distribute the cloak field or some such nonsense. Another suggests that it provides a minimal protection since the nets from their net launcher weapons are this incredibly high durability material we could safely assume their body nets are also highly resistant to harm and maybe offer some protection against physical attacks.

The netting not being painted on these nor on the series 13 predators doesn't bother me at all because the rest of the paint is still brilliant. Yeah I think it would look better painted or with the nets not being sculpted at all but at the same time them being sculpted and not painted isn't a deal-breaker. I just write it off as the netting is cloaked all the time because why not?
