Poor Paint
- Thread starter Marcus Geezer
- Start date
This year we have used Hovid/Fuego Nightcat, Ignite and Strike, Draxxus Midnight, Blaze, Ice/Freeze? (blue box) and Rec-Sport, Zap variants, Powerball's new Stirling Rec, and a surprisingly good ball called Meteor, made in S. Korea (one off shipment). I'm sure we've had other paint too, but i'm at home now & can't remember without looking it up.
We'll consider paint from any supplier provided they can guarantee the quantities we want and meet our delivery schedules. Obviously they'd have to match the price/quality from our current suppliers as that's they way business works....
We're happy with our current suppliers, but if any suppliers want us to consider their services/paint, email me at guppy@paintballgames.co.uk and we can go from there.
As to why the paint was dimpled, well who can say? I agree the temperature hasn't been particularly cold recently, even at night. Occassionally if a pallet has say 30 boxes of one batch right on the bottom and another 120 boxes of another batch on top, we'll test only the top batch and accept/reject the whole pallet as it would be too much hassle for suppliers to get a box off the bottom and then restack the whole lot. I think i might be told 'to go forth and multiply' if i asked for that
I'm not saying it's the reason in this case, but it's possible....

£100 per box????? holy sh1t people pay that? Go to NPF, woodsball there is ALOT cheaper. good paint too.
I played DF a few weeks back, paint was a bit squiggly and bouncy then but we had a good day out, even at the those prices which to be fair are pretty std for punter days.
I used my mag which has been a bit choppy in the past, only 1 break all day and I went through over 800 rounds.
I love the headshot and gunshot rules, it means I can have my head and gun sticking out in the open and not get called out whilst everyone else is tucked away behind the barricades scared of being shot.
Their 3 metre 'surrender' rule can also be worked to advantage

We are talking "customer" prices mate, not walkons surely.
nope. if a customer wants to buy a box of paint at NPF, its £85.
im sure their pricelist is up somewhere...
Don't you get your paint from Ireland anymore then? I thought Mad Dunc had all his paint from them - maybe I am behind the times....
200 boxes of paint per week is not hard to find. Suppliers will bend over for a customer like that, and Duncan always used to make sure that they did. Can't imagine Ivan is much different, although he's not mad, which is a plus.
