Where can I buy pallets of paint? I have access to a commercial business where it would be shipped. I am guessing somewhere around 70 cases would go on each pallet? This would be for my friends and I to use, not to resell.

Try calling up a paint manufactuer. You can setup a dealer account with NPS, or PMI, which would let you choose almost any paint under the sun. Look for a type of account which just needs a minimum purchase as apose to one which needs you to order X amount in time intervals.

your local daeler can get it for you. He'll charge you a bit over wholesale on the paint if you're getting a pallet

To get it at wholesale pricing, you'll need a business liscence and resale tax ID from your city and state. Then you can call Paintball Inc (www.paintballinc.com) or National Paintball Supply (www.nationalpb.com) and set pu a dealer account. However, they wont talk to you without both of those two items. Oh, yeh, and when you fill out their credit apps, they'll want your first born child, so just beware (aka 3 bank accounts and 2 credit cards)

Hi, I'm a rep. for Gott Paintball, Inc. We manufacture our own brand of paint called Screamin Bansee's. We have our own machines located in Semi Valley, CA. If your interested in buying our paint, we can sell you a skid (105 cases) of field paint for around 25 and our proball for 28 a case (give or take 5 bucks). My e-mail is Ryderdude15@aol.com
e-mail if you'd be interested in buying a skid and I'll hook you up with my boss's contact to work something out

pallets are usually 70 or 105 cases (usually, we get the last 5 for "free" since we are buying 100 of the damn things)...shipping is usually free too

my field goes through 2 skids of 105 cases PER WEEK!

set up a dealer account with PMI, you can even have them make custom shell colors :eek:

dosen't sound that unsual 2 skids a week. I don't know how many cases per week my local fields use up, but two of them have trash compacters to deal with all the used boxes. Before the compactors there would be a giant pile of boxes every night about 20ft high. This was from only one night of play.

My local field doesn't go through near that. Probably one "skid" for about 2-3 weeks? Maybe more.

true, but any plastic isn't part of nature, as well as the stuff they use to make logos on the boxes ;)

technicaly everything on the planet is natural. uranium is natural, oil is natural, plastic is natural. i think it was george carlin who did a bit on advertising claiming this or that product is all natural then went on to say that everything is all natural...VX and sarin gas are technicaly all natural.

showtime,
our paint is really new. I've never been to the warehouse too see the machines but I can assure you they're ours (if not then my boss has been bsing me) stores dont talk about our paint because hardly anyone carries it yet. We're still in the process of going to all the local shops and selling it to them. If i understood everything correctly, PJ just bought a ton of this stuff and they're going to put joker stickers on it.
