I wouldn't advise it mate. The paintball place will probably make you wear overalls anyway!
If you aint seen the Dirty Sanchez movie, try and watch it! Here's a pic i've found from where Pritchard has been hit by 103 paintballs! In the movie it shows you his arm, which is swollen to buggery! Not a very pretty site!
obviously you wont get hurt as much as that but just an idea of the damage they do to bare skin!
Your choice at end of the day though!

I wouldn't advise it, although the overalls are so thin you might as well not wear them.
I still do though, wear gloves as well because getting hit in the hand hurts.

You must be mad!!!!!
When i go paintballing i wear jeans and a rugby shirt under the overalls that the paintballing place provide.
I also wear gardening gloves.
The worst i've had was when i got shot in the leg from about 2 yards and it left a right mark which then bruised and was visible for about 10-14 days!!!!
I'll give you 5 mins before your running and flinging yourself all over the place as though your in Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers!!!!
Cheers
Dave.

yeah but its just that it adds to the game doesn't it.
if it hurts then i'll be nmore stelthier
yeah i seen the pranchard been shot, it looked bad lol.
but that was with decent guns, the ones the place give out aren't as powerful
i'll see how mad i feel when i go.

We done exactly the same once, I went with my bro and his mates from work, and for the last game we thought it would be fun to make the birthday boy run from one end of the game zone to the other
Needless to say he got a bit wasted and carried on running even when he had left the game area

been today, short shirt and trakkies
i got shot 4 times.
1 in the hand, on my knuckle and made that bleed.
1 on the hip looks quite sore.
1 on the upper arm didn't hurt but is a good 'un.
and one on the leg that hurts but haven't see the damage yet.
was a fun day out and the lack of overalls at one point was good laugh.
