Is it all the same or the different colors for diferent PSI? And will 6mm micro line be alright for the bottom line on my Automag using Co2??
Micro line??

The reason hose is coloured is because it is used for pneumatic circuits and makes problem solving and line identification easier.
If you get the hose from a paintball shop you'll end up with the right stuff.
Most hose used in industry is only designed for use at 100psi so it will fail pretty quickly,

Colored micro lines in paintball mean nothing, just colored for looks I guess. If I were you I'd buy a MACRO line kit. MICRO lines break alot easier, and they're lower flow. MACRO lines are sturdier and higher flow
As I stated, MICRO lines have a smaller bore diameter and have a much higher propencity to break. MACRO lines have a larger bore diamter (supposedly this is good for LP markers) and are tougher. I've never seen a macro line break, but micro lines almost always explode eventually (one guy who had one on his shutter broke 4 in a day.)
Azureus this is gra, if i were you mate id invest in a braided hose kit from smart parts. I used to have a mag then switched to a cocker . I used to run microline hosing , the only down side is that depending if it was hot or not the hosing or elbows would blow causing me complete greif, type of hassle you dont want. braided can be pricy but it will be one investment you wont regret. trust me on this one ive been there , just trying to help you enjoy your game more hassle free, hope you consider this, let me know how you get on , later!
Micro line will also be prone to break even more with Co2. If you ever fire long enough to build up a frost, it will eat away at it and break it basically.
Macro, or Braided is usually best.

braised hose, simply due to the fact that they almost never break, markers are unreliable enough as it is without worrying about your micro/macro line!!
