Deter-It

The Nelson Paint Company has been the innovator of new solutions to age-old problems since its inception in 1940. Nelson invented the paintball in the early 1960s to meet the demand from foresters for a method to obtain identification of remote targets. From this, the game of tactics known as Paintball started.

Now Nelson Paint has created new innovative tactical products to meet the demand from military and law enforcement agencies for an economical, effective method of compelling compliance and deterring undesired behavior from those who would fail to comply with authorities or seek to cause disruption and chaos. We do so with pricing that matches the constrained budget reality that agencies face today.

Our products provide exceptional value and safety with a high degree of effectiveness because we are owned in part by a former police canine officer who demands that our products work as well as he would want if he were still working the street and depending on our products to help him make it back home safely. Nelson Paint helps turn your "No" people into "Yes" people.

Nelson Paint also offers training solutions for agencies seeking a cost-effective method to conduct off site force-on-force or active-shooter scenarios. Nelson's non-pigmented clear paintball holds the same characteristics as our Special Forces line of recreational paintball, but the lack of pigment means no mess and definitely no staining. The balls are completely non-toxic and biodegradable, making the clear paintball the preferred choice for private property scenario training.
