A friend and I started to paint a wall in my house (Sat. June 5th) with ping pong balls and paddles we bought at the dollar store. We dipped 'em in the purple paint we bought for $1 a gallon at our local Sherwin Williams establishment. Then next time we went to the $1 store, we got some water slingshots, w/ sponge type projectiles, and a spring gun that shoots what appear to be miniature pingpong balls. While being severely more accurate, the drawbacks are more bounce and less paint coverage than I would like, But Take Heart and Fear Ye Not! We are reserving these for the second color scheme(yellow and orange spatters; at this stage, restrained to a circular dimension of some sort). The sponge slingshots really don't have a consistent splatter, usually you get the best out of the first one or two shots, and don't bounce hardly at all. Fun, but Messy.
I picked up a couple of retrievable ball toys that attach to your wrist. I think these will work nicely... Less backache, more control. Always a Good Thing.
