Re: of primer and paint,

["erik kump" <ebkump-at-hotmail.com>]

I was going to go with automotive spray paint and clearcoat. Ordinary 
housepaint (latex anyway) waon't stand up to it. The oil from the paintball 
soaks into the paint and ruins it. Might not be too bad if you clean it off 
PDQ after a battle, but the bunkers and buildings at one of the fields I go 
to were painted with a light gray housepaint and you can't touch them 
without it sloughing off onto you.
I can't swear by the automotive paint, but it seems that the hard enamel 
would stand up better to the abuse.
