Unless you’re an extremely allusive paintball player, chances are that you will return home from the field with clothing that is peppered with splotches of paint. Although most household laundry detergents will remove the hydrophilic fill in paintballs, some paintball brands are more stubborn to remove than others. Fortunately, even the most stubborn paintball stains can be removed with the proper care.
Here are a few tips for cleaning your paintball clothing after a day on the battlefield:
- Pre-Clean Your Clothing – To keep the paintball stains from smearing and sinking deeper into the fabric during transportation, do a quick clean-up at the field once the game ends. Dab at fresh stains with a clean rag or paper towel, pressing lightly to absorb the paint. Do not use a wiping motion, as this will just spread and smear the paint into the clothing fibers.
- Remove Waxy Residue – Wax is the most difficult element of the paintball fill to remove. If you notice waxy paint stains on your clothing, a special pre-treat is necessary. First, scrape off any excess paint. If there is still waxy fill deep in the fibers, place the stain in between two brown paper bags on an ironing board and place the tip of a warm iron over the bag. This will slowly transfer the wax from the garment to the bag—and out of your clothing!
- Be Quick to Get Your Clothes in the Wash – The dye used in paintballs is the same grade as food dyes. While these dyes do wash completely out of clothing, the trick is to launder your clothes as quickly as possible. If they dye sits on your clothing for an extended period of time, it will sink deeply into the fibers and become much more difficult to remove.

Although the only paintball equipment that you absolutely need to play the game is a mask, a hopper, a tank, and a paintball gun, there are number of accessories and peripherals that can enhance your paintball experience. The right accessories and peripherals can increase on-field comfort, reloading speed, accuracy, and protection—in other words, they will make paintball a much more enjoyable experience.
Some of the popular accessories and peripherals that you should consider picking up from New Breed Paintball include:
- Remote Air Tank Lines – A remote compressed air system is a great way to get your heavy paintball tank off your gun and onto your back or side. This makes your paintball gun considerably lighter. In addition to reducing arm fatigue, a lighter paintball gun will also help you aim and fire much quicker.
- Armored Fingerless Gloves – Getting shot in the hand doesn’t feel good, especially not when your hand is bare. Fortunately, this is where armored fingerless gloves come in. These gloves fully protect the back of your hand and non-shooting fingers from direct paintball shots, allowing you to play with more confidence and protection.
- Electronic Paintball Hopper – Traditional paintball hoppers rely on gravity to feed the paintballs into the gun. Unfortunately, these hoppers are prone to clogging and jamming (which can make all the difference in a close paintball match). Electronic paintball hoppers, on the other hand, have propellers that push the balls down into the gun’s input port for quick and precise firing.
- In-Mask Fans – In-mask fans are the secret weapon of the most skilled paintball players on the planet. Not only do fans help to keep you cool during the heat of battle, but they also reduce fogging and improve visibility. In other words, in-mask fans keep fog and perspiration away so you can deal with the real pressure on the field.

If you’ve recently experienced paintball for the first time, then it’s only a matter of time before you’re hooked. Once you start playing paintball regularly, it makes sense to buy your own gun, instead of constantly renting one. Here are three factors you should consider when selecting your first paintball gun:
If you’re going to buy a paintball gun, you should make sure that it’s going to see plenty of action. If you’re a paintball fanatic and plan on playing every weekend for the rest of your life, you should consider buying a high-end model with all the bells and whistles. If you consider yourself to be more of a casual player, you should select a more modest gun. As you get more serious about paintballing, you can always upgrade to a more advanced model.
Before you commit to buying a paintball gun, you should determine which variant paintball you plan on playing most often. If you’re a fan of speedball, you should select a smaller, lighter gun that will allow you to maneuver quickly. If you’re more into woodsball, you should select a gun that has considerable range and can blend in with the environment. If you like both equally, you should look for a good mid-range model.
Your gun should augment your paintball strategy. For example, a rapid-fire gun is better suited to those with a full speed ahead, “Rambo” approach; while larger, more accurate guns are better for those who like to carefully plot out their movements. If you’re not sure which gun best suits your strategy, you should consider speaking with a paintball gun expert.
If you’re ready to make the leap to gun ownership, come by New Breed Paintball. The veteran paintballers on our staff will gladly help you find just the right model and accessories. If you have any questions, call us today at (877) 872-1221.
