I like AllStars. I order them from www.xpaintball.com. Their frequent paint buyers program is pretty cool. Buy 6 cases in 6 months and get one free.

You can buy cheaper paint but I think Stars are a great paint for the price.

I was lookin around and I can't seem to find the buy 6 cases get one free, I found a buy 10 cases get one free, is this what you were talking about? Perhaps they changed it

I really like Nelson Anarchy, I order from paintballgear.com, mostly because they have the cheapest shipping for me. When comparing prices for a case of paint, you have to remember shipping costs. Your $42 bargain isn't such a bargain when it costs $15 to ship it. Paintballgear.com charges around $7-8 to ship to me in Colorado where everyone else I checked wants $10-15. Just something to keep in mind.

Yes, the lousy turds changed the frequent paint program on me. I guess I won't be buying from them anymore.

great-american paintballs have always been good to me. A good ball for a good price. PBgear will ship a case of that stuff to you UPS ground for under $45

I mostly use Kick'n Paint has anyone heard of it I want to buy a case online but I cant find it anywhere because the field I play as is sponsored by them and is just about all we use but its good paint.

PMI Premium is the only paint i shoot. its very high quality paint and is just as good as marbs IMO but doesnt cost as much. you can find it for $40-43 online. my friend shot 4000 rounds of PMI through his SPYDER and didnt break a ball, now THAT is amazing...

ive used quite a bit of the nitro duck paint and its pretty good stuff for the price, i think around here its like 40-45 bucks a case, avoid the winter fill, it sucks but the regular stuff itsnt too bad, shot it in an angel and a bushy without any problems

as far as top end stuff goes, im a big fan of green marbs or stars, both are great, i still have yet to be convinced by diablo, ive had a bunch of cases of the high end stuff and its full of dimples, im not impressed with diablos quality

and as far as team practices, i suggest some of you try the decent brass eagle, now yes i said BE, but the middle to high end stuff if you can find it, is actually decent for practice, it only runs around 40 and its great for a full day of rec ball, btw try and get fresh stuff, ask the shops, if they have it, how long they've had it. the old stuff is nothing but trouble

Cliff

and of course i forgot to mention big ball, ive had great luck with it and would reccomend it to anyone that can get it at a decent price, its rather good rec paint

i am not a huge fan of the pmi advantage, ive had nothing but chops and problems with it, ive only had a few good days with that stuff, i was chopping like mad last time i played with that in one of my angels.

ive also never had any exp. with any 32 deg. or zap but ive hear good things about some of that zap stuff, they say its good rec paint

but i dont think thats high quality, i mean as in NO whipin off, and breaks right

the only downfall to thick paint is gonna be the price, if you want thick paint you cant wipe your gonna pay for it, i would go with evil fill in the stars, most places sell them anywhere from 50-80.

I like the new Legends paint that Diablo came out with. Works great with my gun setup, and it's relatively cheap.

However for the thicker fill and better ball all around get the JT maxim's. They are the slam fill from the RP Scherrer SLAM balls, and also it's a Dry shell, kinda like the El Tigre's only JT actually made a good dry shell.

as for JT Elite's the fill is HORRIBLY thin. My friend got some with yellowish fill and it absorbed into everyone's shirts so well it looked like they spilled water or drooled on it. It was more like juice than paint... just a thought before you go buying those for cheap

I get RPS Advantage/PMI Premium, they shoot accurately, haven't broke one paintball out of two cases with it yet, and I dont have lvl 10 yet.

Yes worrpaint is a very nice paint also. Can't find very many places right now that have it in stock.

If you have a dye barrel, diablo blaze works great.

although i went with the stars at 57$ a box, anod bout 10$ shipping, i was thinkin about going with the JT maximun however, ihave heard stories of people getting kicked from fields because the paint is extremly hard and hurts, i dunno if its just me but i always keep the rule that "dont do to others what u wouldnt want done to you" sorta thing, so maybe some one at a field will have some i can shoot. This all star stuff is suppose to be pretty nice
