Staining Paint

[Mario]

yea i was wondering what it was and i aint sure whether it is the zap coz i've been shot to fu*ck by that and it did come out. however i've got stuff from last year that was shot by that pink paint and it still hasn't come out despite numerous washes....

i remember it having a metallic blue shell if that helps....

i know some Vcomp has a metallic blue shell with pink fill.............the WDP stuff

Well at the risk of this being a sponsored team free for all we've had no problems washing out any of the Severe brands we've used so far.

RDX and Xtra did however get shot by team(s) in Div E & F at Uttoxeter that were using a pink or a yellow fill paintball that WILL NOT come out of my or their shiny new team jerseys and I'm not happy at all.

I thought that staining **** was pretty much banned. If it's not it should be, there's no need for it and it's never going to encourage spectators. My other half had gear ruined by that paint when spectating, fortunately as a player she knows not to get dressed up to go watch

Organisers can we get a grip on this please?

yeah the severe stuff we have used at training washes out fine and i think we have tried pritty much every ball they do....

after the last mm i washed my brand new top 4 times and you can still see faint spots of yellow and pink....and it went in the wash at the most 3 hours after the last game finished and wasnt allowed to dry between washes........its a bit rediculous to say the least

on the day we were of the general opinion that is was one of the zap balls but we couldnt form any solid conclution

I hate all pink paint including the Vcomp version, but it has washed out after sundays training no problem and so did the Zap used at Congleton the week b4

v-comp is made from veggie oil and isn't nasty, other are made from carcinogens and stuff that'll kill ya in large quantities..... the v-comp washes out very easily

Lets just sit back and look at the original post

"""At the DMA this year it cost me two player tops, 1 goggle lens, 1 t shirt, 1 pair of sunglasses, stained pots and about half an hour in the shower trying to scrub it off!!"""

Come on sunglasses and a pair of goggles too this guy must have been watching battery acid being made the last time any paint stained any goggles was years ago .
It was California magnum and that was mostly rumors because of the paint price war that was going on at the time.
Also the goggles it was to have allegedly stained were the uvex ones which were under no circumstance to be used in paintball.
There are no paints that stain to that extent they all have been in use in the millennium and the nppl for years now with no complaints. Ok some of you may still have marks but I have grass marks on some of my shirts that won’t come out should we ban playing on grass as well.
On the shirts that some stains remain it may be a chemical reaction with the material of the shirts causing it to stain that does not mean the paint is toxic and certainly not able to ruin goggles I think this guy is being a little bit fictitious with his post which may I add is his first .
