Are paintballs washable?
« on: January 02, 2009, 09:45:37 AM »
My grandson left his paintball gun here recently, and of course I had to try it out.  After leaving yellow streaks in my oak tree, I finally mananged to hit a squirril, leaving a yellow streak down his back.  One of my neighbors reported a strange little animal with a yellow stripe in her yard a few days later, and my oak still looks a bit odd, even after a rain.  Does this stuff wash away?

Water soluble however there are a few brands that are notorious for staining clothes.  Depending on the model/brand the paint fill can be a lot thicker than average.  This is geared toward tournament players and discouraging them from wiping while making hits obvious to referees.
