Rate Your Paint. The good, bad and ugly

[sideshowbob]

Just wondering what peoples thoughts on paint where?

There appear to be all kinds off paint and different qualities of paint. Some guns seem to prefer brands of paint to others?

Is there a brand that is good? bad? or do you think that it varies from batch to batch?

Is there a paint that works well with you gun? Tell us about it and what you use to fire it through!

All paint is good, and all paint is bad, like you said it depends on batch, age and what marker you are using.

I used fuel the weekend through an ego and had 1 break, but then last weekend i used evil through a cocker and i had nothing but breaks in the hopper.

there are too many factors to take itno consideration whilst saying whats good/bad, i think it is down to the day, gun, and batch of paint.

As we all know some paints are deemed the best and charge ridiculous prices although You may even find a cheap paint may be better for you.

one i wouldnt recomend is brass eafle paint (called Wild Streak)
the sheels are greasy and its a very small bore..

i generally use Sterling Powerballs (Game Variety) as its still under £30 a box, and its pretty decent.

Draxus midnight is ok..

(i shoot an Ego & a Zeus G2 both big bore)

So far I've found Powerball (all types) and RPS Marballizer to be by far the most consistent good performers through both my my guns (Shocker and Omen). They're the 2 types of paint I'lll always use when they're available. RPS Polar Ice has always been good whenever I've used that too.

RPS Premium and MidEvil have been sh@t every time I've tried them.

well i have a spyder fenix(leave the remarks out) i use 32 degrees whisper barrel and use air now, draxxus midnight shoots well when its not cold but not warm didnt have no breaks all day, and pro pearl also very good aint had many breaks in any weather with them

paint

I use XBALL silver it works well with my tippmann a5 with flatline and is only £40. What do you use?

Nelson Anarchy in neon pink, fu*king expensive, but the best is never cheap.

as a rule, buy the best you can afford. even thought paint can be very batchy, i have had more frequent problems with cheaper, lower grade paint.

i shoot and Ego and an eblade cocker

 

[welshy]

anarchy all the way baby
shoots straight breaks on target
never had a break in my marker (ego)

 

[Theozmeister]

Im a RPS man, i use a lot of Mid Evil and Evil. Allways shoots Straight.

So many paint brands etc on the market now it’s so hard too say what is the right ball for the job.

Tournament play requires fresh batch paint with thick fill (preferably orange) simple.

Walk on days/big game days if it comes out the barrel with the odd brake and don’t cost the earth? That’s the one am using. But best staying away from white, blue and pink fills; this helps prevent the woodland looking like the trees have bin white washed.

Best paint I have shot all year was Diablo Scorched just fantastic paint; also got on well with RPS Marballizer, Empire Fuel, Zap Chronic and Draxxus Midnight.

Worst paint was an orange and blue shell with orange fill; out of a full case probable only got a hoppers worth out the barrel. Not mentioning the distributor (It’s OK Ian not the site your at) but will never touch there paint again, even if it was for free.
