We were contracted by a Chicago event promoter to create a tank/DJ booth for their “Paint Wars” event in Milwaukee, WI. Originally it was designed to shoot fluorescent tempera paint 30-50′ from the end, along with confetti and CO2 blasts. It was no small feat designing a system to effectively do all of that via one tank gun, and It came with a very large price tag. Budget constraints resulted in a tank with a UV laser effect. Entirely in fluorescent colors, it is especially super-vivid in person when hit with UV light. The front treads have a chasing effect to create the illusion of motion. We think it looks like a big children’s toy, perfect since the people attending an event where you’re hit with cold wet paint the whole night are still children 😉
