The paint doesn't really "stick" to you persay, you can just wipe it off
with a rag or your hand. People wiping on the field is usually a pretty big
deal when you're playing at an arena, apparently people don't like to play
by the rules at times. If you were to roll through or brush up against a
paint splat, you'd probably get more sticky/oily than anything else.
