Platinum sponsor and Gold sponsor paint manufacturers.
Do you really think that any product produced by someone fronting cash into these events will be banned? The organisers
and rule makers will have to let a few things slip in order to keep
certain people happy. Just the way of the world.

If the stain won't come out of your cars paint and you have tried every liquid avaliable. Give one of these mobile resprayers a call and it should cost you about £50-£70 per panel.

dont know about you guys but in here at least its well known fact that paint stains cars if its let to sit for a period of time!

so it really baffels (sp?) me to see that you guys didnt know about this!


surely it sucks but c´mon if paint cvan stain clothes and the like there can be made a mental note not to risk anything you dont want to be possibly stained!!

i thought the point of having Millennium paint sponsors and only being permitted to use their brands of paint was partly so that staining paint would be eliminated...

So, if we are told we must only use official MS paint suppliers (non-staining) paint then why isn't that rule enforced?

I don't think people whose cars have been stained are at fault here when they parked in the designated car parking areas. It should be the responsibility of the CC/MS setup crew to ensure car parks are far enough away from the fields to avoid stray paintballs, bearing in mind that paintballs do have a tendancy to attack car paint.

Staining paint

.... staining paint will not be allowed. Because of the use of staining paint we have trouble with going back to venues we’ve used. In order to be able to come back to the best places available, no staining paint!!

Do not Bring Your Own

Although the Millennium Series has been a Bring Your Own Event for a long time, considering the new rule on staining paint, we can no longer allow you to bring your own boxes in. All the Millennium Paint Sponsors are available to you at each event. Buy your paint there!
So were any batches of paint checked by the CC/MS crew at Esher for staining properties? And why was it so easy to carry in your own paint? I appreciate you could BYO of a brand that was a 'millennium sponsors' paint but as there was no control over paint being carried in, presumably any brand could have been used.

Funnily enough the question was asked about staining paint and what paint could be used before Campaign and aslo with regards as to would the BYO rule be enforced lot of promises made again and nothing done about again:rolleyes:
