| They should make paintballs that are just filled with a oil and something that reflects UV lights, my friends trees are still painted with pink and orange from last year. Then you wont be able to see the paint on the trees also i think it might be cheaper. |

They make clear filled paintballs, they are marketed for law enforcement and military training. ------------- 2005 Freestyle Naughty Dawg Freestyle Angel LCD SP-8 Tippmann 98 Custom |

oil would make them more expensive. they havn't made oil-base paint in years, due to them being inferior to the gelatin base.

What do you do to clean it off. One hit an you're done for the day?
Everything is fine the way it is. It's not the balls that are the problem, it's the wipers/cheaters that can ruin a good game.

scroll your head back to a time called back-in-the-day. You were probably in elementary school or so, if you were even born yet. Nelson was the main producer of paint, they had to use oilbased paint beacause that was the only ubstance that wouldn't eat away at the gelatin shells. You also had to clean off your old hits with turpentine in between games. If there is old paint leftover on anything, just wash it away with water, its a good chance that the train can't get to the tree trunks, so just hose them down if you are close enough, otherwise, the paint won't harm the trees at all. The paint is non-toxic and biodegradable. ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

well what i think would be cool, i know they make glow in the dark paintballs, what if you were to mount a UV led on your hopper, it would "charge" the paint coming out of the barrel, iknow it wouldent be used in play but just messing around with friends playing at night i think it would be pretty cool |
