OK I see your point.
How about the test is done and the findings taken to the paint suppliers, if there is no change over a reasonable period of time then I would say name and shame.

And now we are talking. Looking at the Diablo case, I would say that the paint manufacturers would only be too happy to help. It is after all in their best interests.

I reckon that it's pink paint in general.
I've heard people say that pink Marbalizer stains, i came across some staining RPS paint recently, and i have had my shirts stained by Severe Cyclone.

We Shoot DraXxus sun flare, orange fill, so i know it isn't us.

Paint Manufacturers and teams are asked not to shoot Pink Paint at Campaign Cup.
If you're concerned about your paint ask your supplier.

I bet if we find anyone using staining fills at Campaign cup, that Naill will not be very happy! And if anyone does use Staining fill, i will find out!

yo TJ
the issue for Campaign Cup is that in order to keep getting the venue, we need to make sure we clean up everything, and stain nothing.
I doubt that crystal palace will let us back next year if we leave big pink blotches on their astro turf pitches, or on their walls.

It's not really about players shirts, it is after all Paintball as you said.
The stained shirts thing is an anoyance more than anything else.

Paul, i'm waiting to hear back from Naill if it's an official no pink paint thing, or if it's a gentleman's agreement sort of thing.

It's very hard to keep track of staining paint, because it's used and accepted in the states, where a lot of this paint is used; or manufactured to be used.

Another thing, these pink stains seem to stay in certain types of fabrics, any shirt made by FurySports with white or yellow on it seems to stain, and Dye jerseys apparently are prone to it too. It might account for folks saying they use certain types of paint in practice, and not having it stain, while other teams complain about the same paint staining. i dunno, maybe?
