Someone shot my friends car with a paintball gun and we were wondering if it's permanent.

Actually, it CAN and WILL permanently stain a car's paint job if it's left to dry on the vehicle. Just wipe it off and wash the area with HOT, soapy water. There is nothing special you have to do to get it off. Just don't let it dry overnight on the car.

Like incontinence, depends. Most paintball paint is water based. Some is oil based. Wash off what you can, the quicker the better. Try plain water first, then try Bug and Tar remover. Carefully polish out what paint is left, if any. You may need rubbing compound, then polishing compound. Try to protect the area around the the area so you don't polish off the car's paint. Go slow and good luck.

No it's not permanent, but dont use regular soap to get it off, and dont let it sit on there either. Paintballs are oil based, they are also made to come out of clothing so obviously it will come off the paint, make sure u clean it off with a rag and use proper car soap or go to a car wash to get it cleaned off.

It depends on the car's paint, because paintball paint will still stain other paints. It has been known to stain cars, trust me it's not fun.

No it should wash right off,I would be mad if someone did this to my car because I would worry about it wrecking my paint job on my car(scratching it) but I don't think it will do any permanent damage.Its payback time!!

I don't think so.
when I was younger (In middle school), I got thrown off the bus (well like 4 of us did lol) for throwing paintballs at our bus driver..
needless to say.. we had to clean the bus up... came right off.

No...not normally
But it can STAIN if you don't wash your clothes afterwards.
And if your vehicle get's shot it leaves a Nasty OILY colorless stain....even after you wash it, you'll see the Oil spot for awhile.

I know that the paint will show on blonde hair for a couple days....
just get some dish soap and water and try to get it off...

It's not suppose to but some do. It depends if you leave it on your clothes for more than a day.
