I just wanted to comment that while the paint was great in that it was very difficult to wipe, I have noticed some stains on my goggle lenses and in the lighter portions of my ghillie suit.
I understand that this happens, but though I'd just offer up some feedback for future events.
Anyone else have any staining?

IF you leave your mask with paint on it for a couple days or a day after the event yes it will stain the lens, this happen with most paints

I didn't have any problem with getting the paint off my equipment. I do have a complain. Wish they made it in fruit flavors (cherry or sour apple).  It tasted nasty when Leg shot me in the face at 5 feet.   |

Uhmmm Hazmat, are you talking about The Guns of Texas?
You'll probably be opposite at Reindeer Revolt 2. Aclown has asked to reprise his role of Elfbo which puts Blacklist on the Elves side opposite of Alter Ego on the Reindeer..........

Uhmmm Hazmat, are you talking about The Guns of Texas? No, I'm talking about next weekends game (Back to Bataan). Seems that the last few games we've played we were on opposite side of Alter Ego. |

Back on topic here...for years I have used VForce goggle systems, and have always had probs with pink/bright yellow paints staining the lenses. It is my understanding that the polymer that VForce uses to make the lenses has a higher absorbtion rating than other lenses. IE: it is easier to tint in the molding process than say Vents or JT. Not withstanding...VForce is an excellent system and I have used it for years. Only recently have I moved over to Vents, but Miss Karey STILL plays with VForce Goggles.
Here's something to try. ANTI FOG is the film applied to the lens from the factory, and when you apply more on your own, this gives the pigments in the paint something to bond to. try this..
Soak your lenses in plain water for 24 hours. This gives the Anti fog time to loosen from the lense. After 24 hours, use plain soap and water, with a very soft cloth and scrub the lense where it is/was stained. If the pigment has adhered to the AF, it will come off. If it is on there too long, it will eventually absorb into the polymer of the lense itself and the stain will be permanent. When you've finished cleaning them, re-apply a thin coating of AF to both sides of the lens.
We washed our ref stuff, which was covered with paint wednesday, and all of the paint came out with no staining, Used regular soap and cold water to wash. So we have not had any issues getting this stuff out.
