What paint do you use?

[vmaxnick]

Not wanting to hijack your thread but a related question; I have used a lot of different paint from Zap and ACU to Primal I've been into paintballing for about 2 years so I not seen a lot of 'Seasons'. In summer I was loving primal because it breaks instead of just hurting like hell. I have about 4 boxes of primal left but find I just cannot shoot it at the moment without breaks in markers ranging from Angels to Ions. I keep my paintballs in the house (heated) and use a cool bag with a hot water bottle in on site in winter. When the markers get cold, the paint starts to break.
My question is; if I keep the primal till the weather warms up, will it be ok again or has it most likely gone stale! From the box warm, it makes between 0 and 3 bounces before breaking. I have tried the glass of water placed in the bag trick but it doesn't seem to help all the balls to get less brittle and it only takes one break to screw your day. I've had no problems with blaze but you get too many bouncers!
Interesting point made by Kevin; I also find the more expensive paint more brittle which seems as it should be for tourney paint but google searching the issue, the 'experts' always equate brittle paint with cheapness and stale!
Just noticed that even in this thread people don't seem to agree if it's cheap = brittle or expensive = brittle? Incidentally, the primal was £30 a box whereas blaze is £20

Thanks for the infos
Where do people buy their paint?

have a look at warped sports and planet eclipse they do the tomahawk range that is a good paint also the JT atmophere is good but if you want a excellent winter ball then tomahawk winter is what you should try but you will find paint that you like

Vmaxnick, call up LIPS mate. See if they have any Blaze left with a carbon fibre shell and a pink fill Shouldnt have any problems with those.

I understand "crap in = crap out" for your gun but is cheaper paint brittler or is more expensive brittler.. maybe they're all just sentient and expensive paint only breaks when you want it to

I was thinking of getting the unbranded paint for firing off in my garden/tooling about with my penis extension.

pballnoob i can't see your thread. Also, you'd need someone to vouch for you

Cheap paint is normally at one extreme or another (either very brittle, or as tough as nails). It's often been stored badly, so some balls are misshapen and dimpled and as a result, won't fly straight.
