the paint is water base and the shell is jelletin... im thinking maybe some goo gone. to leave a stain it would have been there for a good day in the sun.

I know that some paintballs leave stains on car paint a lot easier than others. I check my car every night and every morning (I'm paranoid like that) so it couldnt have been sitting in the sun. When I wiped away the paint there was still a light stain on my car. BTW I have a PPW so its really noticable. GOO GONE sounds kinda scary is it safe?

Goo Gone is totally safe. Goof Off removes paint.

Try a claybar in case it's a residue left on the surface.

You might be able to use a swirl remover or some other fine polish to remove the stain if it won't come off "chemically".

Check for damage in good light. Unfortunately I have paint ball dings on the hood.

A Claybar is useful for removing paint overspray. It may work for you.

They hit the side skirt and front bumper so no dents were left but I was very worried about the paint cracking.
