Hey guys, Does anyone know the formula for paintball paint? Because I made a land-mine today, and it works great, but I had to use water as a test subject. Now I just need paint to fill it up. Oh, and I know you can buy some in a gallon jug pre-made, but that stuff's expensive! $25 a gallon! Yikes! ------------- . |

Boil down old paintballs or just mix some of the powdered paint crap.

so you are going get a chemistry lab, generically create paint using the formula, however you are not willing to spend $25 ------------- http://www.freewebs.com/outlawspaintball/index.htm - Outlaws *Sponsors* http://www.abrika.ca - Abrika |

"so you are going get a chemistry lab, generically create paint using the formula, however you are not willing to spend $25" I highly doubt that paint is that complex to make. I'm asking for the ingredients do that I can mix it myself. Like one part this and one part that, stir in a pot and let simmer for 20, you know? ------------- . |

Learn to use the Quote Button, it looks like this: http://tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/edit_post.asp?M=Q&PID=1975243&TPN=1"> How to make your own Paint Mine Paint: Take 1(One) 20(twenty)oz Soda Bottle: Take 1(One) MRE Heater Pack: It looks like this:
Take the heater cell out of its wrapper, and place it on the ground. Take the 20oz soda bottle, and fill it halfway full with a 50:50 mixture of Texas Pete, Tabasco, or other Hot Sauce, and Tap Water. Place the MRE Heater in the soda bottle, replace the cap on the soda bottle. Shake it up, and wait. Good Day, Sir.

Get some venom paintball powder. its for paintball mines and you mix it with water.
Melting paintballs is messy, and the pots get hard to clean |

I thought thats what paintballs were made of. If not then you could try another type of colourant. (i don't know which) -------------

Paintballs are suprisingly hard to get paint out of, it takes forever. I just buy children's washable paint instead. ------------- 20% of people understand percents and 94% don't, so keep them out of sigs |

| Don't do the MRE thing. It actually becomes a bomb without all the fire and stuff. The army will make them and add things to inflict serious injuries. I will not say what they add because people might be stupid enough to go around and hurt someone. |

I tried re using squadbusters once. I mixed water, about five old paintballs, some corn starch(To thicken it, but you must heat the water to do this) and some hand soap(To help it wash out)
It made a very poor grenade(Blew up while i was filling it) but some decent paint. -------------
