Take the paintballs and put them in water for a few minutes. After you take them out they should be soft. Cut them open with a knife of scissors and squeeze the paint into a disposable containter. Iv also heard that you can boil them. Iv never tryed it my self but it might work.

I would suggest not boiling paint down. the paint inside the shell is water soluble but the boiled down shell has dye that will mix in with the other paint that will not wash off.

Could I just mash up a bunch of old useless paintballs and use that paint for my grenade?

dont mash them up!!!! you can get more paint out of them by soaking them in water for a while. the paint shells are bio degradable to the will melt and you will be left with heaps of paint. (water mixed with paint)

you could just use water, its free, and you could add washable finger paint to it for a water paint mixture, which is cheaper than using paint balls.
