So for a few years I have been collecting different Paint colors. So far I have a 10 round tube of 34 different colors. Here is a small pic:

Do you have to periodically rotate the balls so that the paint does not settle?

Yeah, I move em around from time to time. The Black w/ Orange fill is slowly leaking, with out any breaks. So I take those out and dry em off every once an a while also. It's not really a time consuming task. For the most part I just grab 10 of each new color I run across.

Where do you find all the 10 rnd tubes. Myself and a few friends are always looking for them. They make dividing up paint for rec players alot easier.

I have to say that is pretty neat.

I can see it now... you go to your house.. walk down into the cellar.. enter a climate controlled room with rotating racks filled with Paintballs... "This here is a nice vintage 1998 Dark Green". :D

Really it IS a neat hobby though.

Cool... Why don't you just freeze the paintballs? that way the fill won't mix around...

Arent the newer paints resistant to being frozen?

Well, they can't be frozen completely but they get soo thick they don't really move...or at least that's my guess. Isn't the paint much thicker in the winter?

Or you could inject liquid nitrogen into the paintball!:D I'm being crazy aren't I?

These can be good for X-mas tree decoration.
