if orange became the dominant colour and people started getting beat with orange paint, they would ban orange paint also. I have grass stains ........ shall we ban grass? No. Stop being so wet and get on with it. I have nothing that I own that has any pink stains. Maybe you washed it with your pink dressing gown and have to blame it on paintball.....

just a point worth bearing in mind.....when the massive debate and subsequent banning of pink paint before Campaign took place i tested a batch of all the top tournament paints, (Diablo, Zap, Severe, Nelson, & Toro) and found that with one wash none stained, but if left to dry in the sun than wash that actually a lot of ORANGE paint dries pink!!!!! and then takes a few washes to come out.

unfortunatly

I'm not talking about stains on clothes, because they comes out after a wash. I'm talking about paint that stains my skin for a couple of days and my lenses permanatly. It seems to be only one brand and fill colour is pink. Pink paint definatly shouldn't be banned but just the brand/make that stains until the fill is sorted.

I am in the keep pink paint camp.
Its bright and effective, no teams I am aware of play in day glow pink tops, and as such it makes it a lot harder to "hide"

Trust me when i say we as a team have shot a LOT of pink paint, both in tournys aand training yet no one has complained of staining, on site we often use pink and again no staining.

A lot of it comes down to kit, use cheap kit and treat it poorly and it will likely stain. Use quality and keep it good and less chance of staining. We play a messy game, and shoot paint at each other...

Expect to get stains guys, its the nature of our sport to get dirty :)

staining kit aint the problem.........if you don't like getting stains, then find another sport. Problems come when venues get irritated........ take campaign for instance.
But then again, I'm more worried about netting that lets non-players/trade stands/car parks/spectators come into contact with flying paintballs :)
