removing paintball paint

[mas3372 14]

Hey there,

Have to go price out a job tomorrow for a women who wants a whole bunch of little things washed. First just parts of her 4500 square foot house, I will be sure to talk her into the whole thing.

Second is some algae on her fence. That should be an easy wash.

And third is paint ball paint on a stone wall. She states she has washed it off before with just water but this time she never got to it and it is not coming off. I am assuming that paintball paint would be water base and therefore a little hot water and soem soap should work. A stone wall should be able to take the heat and abuse of 3000 psi if needed.

Does anyone have any advise on the paint on the wall. Any magical chem. to use or experiece with paintballs.

Thanks, Mike

Rain will wash paintball off...shouldn't take much. They hurt, too, by the way.

Paintballs are made entirely of food grade products(yes you can eat them) and as stated by Russ it should wash off with rain or plain water.

Thanks so much guys. I figured they couldn't be anything to caustic. Another cased solved.

They taste like soap. I have gotten hit in the facemask a few times. It splatters through the slots. Hot water should reconstitute the dried material and wash it off.

Oh, they don't hurt that bad! Unless one sneaks in above your mask and nails you right in the forehead! OUCH!

My nephew shot a paintball at my house - I didn't get around to getting it off. Well this year I pressure washed the house - and the stuff won't come off.
