    Abstract: The invented apparatus can be used to agitate the liquid contents of paint balls to mix and evenly distribute their liquid contents so that the paint balls will fly in a true trajectory when shot from a paint ball gun. The invented apparatus also helps to remove or prevent the formation of dimples on the outer shell of the paint balls caused by sitting for extended periods of time in storage boxes, for example. The invented apparatus can thus be used to repair defective paint balls and to extend the useful life of such paint balls. The apparatus includes a support member, a motor, and a container . The motor is mounted to the support member, and the container is supported for rotation by the support member and the motor's drive shaft. Paint balls are placed in the container which is rotated by the motor during operation of the apparatus to move the paint balls to agitate their liquid contents.
