Is that design of a guy holding a paintball gun?

Also, can you rephrase your question?

You sound a little like Gollum.....

The mesh count to use would depend on what paint you're using. Water based inks are difficult at the best of times, but different brands vary wildly in thinkness.

The mesh counts thread Rodney pointed out will give you all the information you need.

I couldn't really see your picture (it gave me a bit of a headache! :P) but I can tell you now that if your problem is that the design was faded, then your issue is using waterbased inks. What you're looking to use is plastisol inks.
