My son is going paintballing for the first time tomorrow night. Need I be concerned about it staining clothes?
He did wear thick layers, and I put out a thick pair of gloves for him, but he left with just mini gloves, so I hope he doesn't get shot in the hands. I was told they had coveralls, but that they would probably be too big for him.
He had a great time and has a couple of HUGE bruises!
Depends on the brand of paintball used. Most don't, but some do. Especially, light clothing. Good rules of thumb are don't wear light colored clothing, and wear something comfortable that you don't mind getting roughed up.
and wear layers....just put play clothes on him!!
Oh yeah. Kellie's right - layer him with clothes that you don't care if they are ruined on the top two layers.
Kind of like if your son was doing some painting around the house.

make sure he has a paintball mask and a thick scarf for his neck. those things sting as well as stain!
Ditto Wendy H, paintball hurts!
Sherri:
I hope he is dressed in layers!! Paintballs will STING and hurt. I posted pictures from last years paintball party where the boys had BRUISES from the paintballs....
No, the paintballs will NOT stain the clothes. Put 'em in the wash and all is well!!
HOPE HE HAS A BLAST!!!!
