What kind of detailing did you do? I'd try claying the area, then if that doesn't work use some Meguiar's ScratchX. You can see how the guy was able to take away bird doodoo stains on that Dodge Viper.

You could try working with a VERY light touch, with a razor blade. Only IF the paintball paint sticks up from your car's paint, so you can blade it off. Don't push down on the razor AT ALL, just pick up whatever corner of the paintball paint you can and then peel it away with the razor.

Don't drink any coffee or Red Bull before you do this.

lol @ caffeine joke

I have the same problem, like I ran over paint in the road and it splashed onto the left rear door. I used liquid clay ice, didn't work. I'm gonna try scratch-x and maybe even goo-gone. Anything's worth a shot really.

Use some car polish, like mothers or maguires, it works all the time. You should always wash off the paint before you leave the field or else it gets dried on there.

Try wet sanding it JUST A LITTLE BIT, then buff and wax it.

You're lucky the paintballs didn't crack the paint. Back in high school my car got egged and there was a nice ring where the egg hit.

And yes, Costco or any grocery store parking lot. Old people + careless = dings for us, sucks bad.
