    Where do you store paint at big/scen games?

    I've never been to a huge event before. Do you just get a case and split it up and just load up as much as you can?

    Storing paint in a car is way too hot in the summer. Store it in a cooler in the trunk?

    Thanks!

    An empty DRY cooler will work fine, but don't leave it inside the car or trunk, that will just defeat the purpose of trying to keep it cool. Keep it in a shady area if at all possible.

      I'm afraid of people mistakenly taking my paint or even just stealing it.

      What about cooling the cooler?

        I've been to big games during hot weather and have never had a problem storing paint in my car for the day. I just make sure its dry and out of direct sunlight. My car has a sunroof that I might crack open an inch to keep it from getting brutally hot inside the car too.

        You can try cooling the paint with ice packs or something similar OUTSIDE the cooler/case. Putting them too close might cause condensation inside the bags the paint is in.

          I am a supression gunner and commander which means I usually am on the trigger keeping people's heads down, or yelling orders. As a supression gunner I use alot of paint so I usually carry as much with me as I can. I use a Redz bug man pack with 7 150 round pods. That will hold a little over half a case. The rest is usually kept in my team's stageing area. Usually we have someone that came along that is not playing to keep an eye of stuff.

                For big games (never played scenario) I wear a Redz 4.3 Dimension, so thats about 1100 (incl. hopper). I pour the remaining two bags together, to save space, and lock that in the big, plastic gear box I bought from Home Depot.
