Don't think so mate. Well, I've never heard of it.
What is the exact link for the page you saw it on?
I go that site quite alot and never noticed it myself.

Smart Paint, that brings back memories.

Sold in 1998-99'ish (could be wrong)

Smart Paint was RPS rebranded paint specifically designed for the old Shocker 4x4. It was medium bore, bright green fill, and ultra fragile shelled.

The rumour was that they stopped doing it as it was very popular and was sold cheaper than the RPS tournament stuff at that time.

I remember finding my old brix was quite hard on it, and bursting 1 in 10 on the bolt.

Now dont go asking any questions about Forest paintballs

lol I had a major blonde moment then.
I wasn't think of paint as in *bang bang* I was thinking of paint as in *brush brush*... And it kinda stuck in my mind "Why would have anything to do with bore size?"
Seems kind of obvious now
Still not heard of the stuff though

It was never cheaper was it? I remember Smart Paint being well pricey - was rather nice though - didn't run too well through a retro valved mag, but the bolt on my evo used to stop on the paint rather than chop.

Happy days. Makes me feel like I've been in paintball a long time - then again, I can still (just about) remember Techno-Ball.
