Anyone use the RPS Super Swirl. It's like the higher end Wally world paint, lol. If so what barrel do you use?

I have used that many times with my stock RT Pro barrel. It shoots just fine. No problems what so ever. We even shoot it out of our Stock Spyder barrels too.

The problem is that you can't tell how long the wally world paint has been sitting on the shelf. I hate to admit it but I have bought paint there a couple of times.
The paint often wouldn't break when it should have.
The last time I bought wally world paint and did a bounce test it consisted of me throwing the down on the pavement and it still bounced up. (and no, I don't have girly arms :p )

That is true. Most of the time I have not had any real problems, but once and a while it can be a bit “hard”. ;)

But…… for a quick fix and for just playing around and having fun, it isn’t that bad. :D MUCH better than not having ANY paint at all. ;)

Well what about a barrel for a mag. Right now I use a DYE Ultralight.

It looks like most RPS paint is basically med to small.

Here is an idea of barrel sizes:

Again, I'd like to stress avoid using wally world paint.
You don't win with paint that bounces.

So tell me again what's wrong with RPS paint? There is nothing wrong with Walmart brand paint. So far I haven't broken a ball of it in my mag. No dimples, the paint is consistent and ALWAYS breaks. Nothing wrong there. In case you all didn't know in retail they tend to like to get the product, and sell it. So it shouldn't be that old. I'd say a few months at the most. The shelf looks to be about half full everytime I go, and it's cheap. (not to mention the 10% discount I get :D :D :D ) And I've read all the barrel/paint sizes already. Just wanted to know if you use the paint, what barrel do you use?

LOL I will disagree on a slight point here….

You CAN win even without the paint breaking. Ever hear this?

“Ouch, ouch, ooooooouuuuchhhhhh! Ouch! Hey! Stop! I am out!”

;) :D

(I will state again though, that it is better to play with bad paint, than NO paint. :D)

(edit to change "here" to "hear".. LOL I don't believe I did that. :D)
