a paintball grenade works by having the paint under pressure, most commonly by using rubber tubing. when it is thrown, there are two small balls that hold the paint in that pop out releasing the paint in multiple directions.

Unlike explosive grenades, paintball grenades work on elasticity. They are rubber tubes filled with paint and a stopper (usually a small ball bearing). When their pin is released (which can be a metal ring or just a plastic wrapper) they are thrown. After hitting something (must be hard enough) the pressure from the paint will push out the stopper, causing spin and sending streams of paint around the area. If you are hit with ANY of the paint, you are out.
most fields wont let you use one, if this is for use in the back yard I would suggest that you remember that Smoke grenades use fire to burn the chemical that makes smoke....dont set your backyard on fire!
Most paintball grenades are elastic balloons with a ball bearing, that when removed makes the grenade spin and throw paint. The easiest way is to thicken water with cornstarch and add food coloring, and pump it into a baloon.
get a ballon fill it up with paint then buy anything close to an m-80 or cherry bomb tie it to the end of the ballon...and light it...hope that this was helpful...
