Are safety glasses included?

Yes, safety glasses are required for all participants and are provided free of charge during your visit. While the paint is safe and non-toxic, it can be a bit uncomfortable if it gets in your eyes, so we provide the glasses to keep you protected and comfortable.

Question 7

Will the paint get in my car?

Accepted Answer

While it’s possible, we’ve hosted thousands of parties with no issues—but we still recommend taking a few precautions just in case. We offer ponchos for purchase to help keep things contained, and we also have plastic car seat covers available to protect your seats.
The paint may stain some fabrics, but it washes off most materials with soap and water. With a little preparation, you’ll be all set to enjoy the fun without worrying about the mess!

Question 8

Getting home with paint covered guests?

Accepted Answer

Dry yourself in the fans + wear a poncho= 😁 a great idea!

All of the paint will wash off your body easily in the shower at your home.

You are welcome to bring plastic coverings for your car and guests, or you can purchase our ponchos for the ride home. 
We also have a Drying Station!

We have a sink for washing hands, or if you get some in your eye. The sink isn't for cleaning the paint off of you. This is because water will reactivate the paint and actually create more of a mess for your ride home. Drying in the fans and wearing the poncho is the best method we have.

We actually strongly recommend you wear ponchos while you paint, so you don't get as messy and it protects your ears, but if you choose to get messy, then the ponchos are a great way to get home.  We also have additional plastic to cover your car. if you use both you will have even more protection.

Question 9

Will the paint stain my clothing?

Accepted Answer

It may!
 
We use high quality paint so it glows bright in the black light and creates a vibrant design on your canvas. We have caps, ponchos, and shoe covers to help with the mess for purchase.

Question 10

Is there a viewing area?

Accepted Answer

We don’t have a separate paint-free viewing area, but there’s plenty of space in the paint area for those who want to observe the fun. We recommend wearing a poncho to stay clean and enjoy the action up close!
Just remember that observers count towards the total number of painters.

Question 11

Question 21

I'm on a budget, what's the best way to save money?

Accepted Answer

To save the most, we recommend keeping your group as small as possible—the fewer people, the less paint and supplies you'll need! Another great way to save is by sticking to creating an art piece, as paint wars use more supplies.
For your car ride home, we offer plastic seat covers for sale, but you can also bring your own plastic to cover your car for additional savings.
Also, be sure to check out our paint and merch on our online paint menu. Purchasing ahead of time can save you big!

Just a quick request: please keep the lobby area (the party area) clean—we want to make sure everyone can enjoy the space and keep it party-ready. We promise we’ll try to keep the mess to a minimum... but no guarantees—it's a paint party after all!

Question 23

What’s the vibe like at Splatter Box—more like a coffee shop or a night club?
