Normally the site you are training @, as they have to justify allowing you the time and use of their facilities
If you are still looking to train at Tower paintball its site paint only there, and they usually have RPS premium or Diablo formula 13 in stock for walk-ons, training etc. However if you are looking into training at HPG Dagenham or D7's in dartford, somewhere like that you can usually bring your own, for the best deals on paint I recommend buying by the pallet and finding somewhere to store it yourself correctly, ask the place you buy from about how to store it correctly.
Call Lips for anything DXS and try Andy at Tower for bulk buys on RPS or Diablo
Training paints I can recommend in order of how good they are:
DXS Blaze
RPS Premium
Diablo Formula 13

Draxus Blaze as a training paint? Blimey did everyone get rich all of a sudden?
Training paint is normally defined as a cheaper paint where you expect the odd barrel break, the odd dimple, and the odd egg-shaped ball. In effect you are getting what you pay for but becuase you are only training you can get away with not firing paint lasers and having to get the fluffy out sometimes.
Something like Blaze is normally sold as tourney ready paint, and what you should be getting with this is a good consistent ball which fires paint lasers if the paint to bore match is good and the marker fires good consistent fps. Breaks only on your target not anywhere else.
No offence intended btw James.
A good training paint from the Draxxus range would be rec-sport. We've even used good batches of this at tourneys and it has not let us down.

im just curious if you know how many boxes are on a pallet?
in a standard year a 5 man team won't shoot half a pallet of paint in training let alone a single person.
This might be a cost effective way for sites and shops to buy paint but for the single person this is not the correct way of going and buying paint. Once you factor in the space to store a pallet, the cost of heating the paint for a year (which isnt cheap) you have lost all effectiveness of buying in bulk. Not to mention however well paint is kept after a year it is most probably going to be dimpled to high heaven and knackered.
If your training at a site, the best option is normally to buy off the site itself, it should be fairly if not fresh paint which would of been heated. It also allows that site to run so that you can keep on training there.
