Cleaning Up Paintball Stains

Do paintballs stain?  I've been asked that question more than a few times and I give the same answer - usually not.  Paintballs, though, come from many different manufacturers with many different combinations of ingredients in the paintball.  While the vast majority of paintballs do not stain the vast majority of fabric, there are some fills that do stain certain articles of clothing.  I have one white shirt that I was wearing under another shirt and when I got hit, the paint seeped through the outer layer and permanently stained the white shirt.  Other than that, though, I've never had anything leave a permanent stain.  And, if you do get hit, be sure to clean your clothes.
