Staining Paint (again)

[Q Tsunami]

O.K. so heres the problem.


I finally get my missus to come up to watch a bit of paintball.

Her yellow car gets hit with some pink paint, this has now stained her car in several places and won't come out.

So Campaign is going to cost me, Entry, paint, the cost of that stupidly expensive I.D. card that got checked ONCE and a paint respray.

How much longer are we going to have to wait before these staining paints are banned properly.

I was told (3rd hand I must admit) that all the paint used passed the tests, but the tests were only designed to ensure that the paint didn't stain the bunkers.
Having pit crewed for Shockwave on Friday afternoon, I'm still getting the last yellow stains out from round my fingernails - it finally came off the rest of my skin yesterday. And the t-shirt I was wearing that day now has a couple of bleached-looking spots from where it had paint on it.

Wait til you see Sterling Pro blue paint. That leaves a lovely dark blue/black stain.

So far as only using paint from 'official millennium paint suppliers' or whatever they were dubbed, there were no controls or checks over what paint we carried into the staging area or shot from our markers. So in effect it was BYO whatever.

Were you people driving your vehicles on the field or something?

 

[Tom Allen]

It's suprising how far paint can bounce off the fields.

My advice for all colours is t-cut and an electric buffer works all the time but the longer you leave it the more you have to work to get it out hope thats helps you guys/gals

Here's a good tip.

Buy one of those cheap car covers, then wash it when you get home...
