oil based paintballs.. Good luck. What you might be able to do is just get some expensive paint (empire Fuel) or something thick filled.. And shoot it when its hot out.

ya it was a huge long shot to find oil based, but i had to try. I also thought i could take the paint out with a seringe and refil it, then cover the hole with wax. Iv done that before but damn it takes forever.

Most if not all paint fills are mostly vegetable or baby oils and some type of dye or pigment. By design, the paint tends not to be permanent. If you want to paint your van, you are better off getting a can of Krylon...

Oil based paint stopped being made years ago. You could try to contact the mfg and see if they have any old stock left. It'll probably be warped and britle as hell. IF you get some, and it breaks in the barrel, clean up is hell. Id' suggest getting a Talon do do the painting.

The orginal paintballs (back when they were actually used for a purpose other than shooting each other) were made to be permanent. Any chance some people still use them fo thier orignal purpose and make permanent paintballs? Maybe some supply company for foresters or something.

They were used to mark cattle, try a cattle farm supplier or something.

try spraypaint. you'd need at least $2000 in paintballs to cover your car.

normal paintballs usually dry white. Why not just go buy normal paint at home depot and splash it on. Its not like paintballs leave a perfect slplatter mark anyways. or Get a cheap barrel and dip pieces of sponge in paint then stuff them in and try shooting that.

Painting a car is a very involved process...get it done by a professional. First you have to sand blast all the paint off, then put on a primer and then several more layers. It's not something you can do in 30 minutes.

Get a different car color, paintballs take away the whitewash on cars so just shoot it and leave it and it should be white where the paint broke.

even if you did want to paintball your car... remember that youd probably still have to pick off the shells that stick to your car one by one... 0?

That's why you paint squirrels they pick the shells off all on their own.
