After reading this tech tip i decided to test my paint that i use(Xball bronze) some eye opening results, as i always thought it was great paint. it is definitely durable enough but inconsistent more so then toms tests.
i used 2 samples of the same paint one bag freshly opened, and one that was opened a week ago here are my results
week old____fresh
12____________19
10____________42 -
9_____________4
12____________8
18____________3 -
5-____________32
15____________9
28-___________38
6_____________9
10____________10
now taking out the highest and lowest of each and getting the average the week old paint was 11.25 with a variation of 12 and the freshly opened paint was 16.13 with a variation of 34! good high number = strong paint but the variation was way too high on both VERY inconsistent paint
now that i know about this test, i am soon going to start buying single bags of everything i can get my hand on. so i can find the best paint, and once i have that paint a new barrel for my tac one that matches perfectly!
Thanks MANN for letting me know about those tech tips :shooting:
