Paint Guys are enemies from Paper Mario: Sticker Star and Paper Mario: Color Splash. They are Shy Guys that haul heavy paint buckets, and use them to attack Mario. In Sticker Star, Paint Guys will attempt to splash their paint onto Mario. The player must prevent this by repeatedly pressing A. If the Paint Guy is successful, the screen will be covered in Paint, obscuring Mario's health, a spot just in front of him, and the enemies' health. Paint Guys become regular Shy Guys once they lose their paint bucket.

In Color Splash, Paint Guys return with a different method of attack. Paint Guys will instead hit Mario with their paint can. They are first seen in Ruddy Road, where one Paint Guy in particular steals the color from a Red Mini Paint Star. Several Paint Guys are seen outside of battle as well. They are seen working on conveyors in Black Bowser's Castle and assist Roy Koopa with his Bill Blaster.
