Symmetric Painting
If your model was designed to be symmetric, then you have the option of painting symmetrically on it.
The model should be created such that it's center line is perfectly along the X, Y or Z axis, X being the most common.
Symmetric painting works with most of the painting tools, with the notible exception of the touch-up brush with the Blur
or Smudge blending options selected.
If a model is not perfectly symmetric, then the symmetric algorithms will do their best to compensate,
which may or may not have desireable results.

Step 1. Check the Paint Symmetrically option, and paint on the model's right side (your left). When you release
finish the paint stroke, notice how it appears symmetrically on both sides of the model.

Step 2. Now, to emphasize the fact that we are paint symmetrically, and not using the Mirror Horizontally option, rotate the viewing angle
and apply another paint stroke. Notice how it appears properly on the other side of the model.
