Dogbert is right it depends on where u keep them and thier quality. Keep them in something airtight (exm..plastic jar) and,keep them in a dark dry place and they should last pretty long. A higher quality paintball such as RPS or ZAP will last longer though.:)

Try storing in a jar as dducrest has suggested and rotate the jar every day or two. Doing this will stop the balls at the bottom of the jar from distorting under the weight of the other paintballs.

Also add something that absorbs moisture to stop the paintballs spoiling. The sachets of stuff you get with new trainers would probabily do the trick, I think?:confused: This should all add to the life of the paintballs.

Just to points out spydertrix, Diablo is a higher quality of paintball :D :cool: :p

Tips for storage

1. put any opened paint into Ziploc (that's resealable sandwich bags for you Brits).
2. store in the least disturbed, most temperature stable place you can find. Places such as that include under the bed, top shelf of the closet, bottom shelf of the pantry, next to the Pope's condom stash, etc.
3. every week or so, pick up the bags and GENTLY roll the paint around a bit to prevent it from settling too much in one position.
4. store in this manner IMMEDIATELY after purchase and/or play.

Exactly how long the paint will stay fresh from there depends on the brand. You'll find out from experience as to which will last longer; your local results may vary from mine.

U actual have paint left after a days play?

Why leave it to get all ****ty? go to the garden and practice snap shooting or after a tourney try and play a few one on ones to get rid of it althought a tube of paint is quite handy for pre tourney marker checks
