So anyway, are common paintballs water-based, or oil-based? Still only
about
15 degrees out there, so I don't really wanna drag the hose out today.
Should I spray the spots down with 409 or something, until the weather
breaks? Any helpful hints from anyone who has BTDT would be greatly
appreciated.

Wait until the weather warms and it should wash off fairly easy. I had some
on my car a few weeks ago. Wood may not be as easy, depending on what
sealer or finish you have.

I don't have experience with paintball paint stains, but in general I
wouldn't let anything sit on the siding for too long. The sun has a
tendency to bake things on. I'd break out a bucket of hot water and a
scrub brush on a broom handle and have at it.

Except that I wouldn't scrub at all unless and until it was clear that
it was needed. You don't wan tthat part of th ehouse to be cleaner
than the rest.

I haven't done paintball for a long time, but everything washed out of
my clothes. easily iirc. It's not supposed to need soap or
scrubbing, and if anything they should have improved that aspect of
the paint by now, because if they say it will wash out and it doesn't,
everyone will be annoyed (excpet stupid teenagers.)

I would never use goof off for example because that is almost sure to
leave a clean-stain. Then you'll have to do the whole house.
