    Do I need more paint?

    Sooooo,

    Ordered paint back in Feb, and figured at the time two cases was probably enough, but now am reading more and more and wondering if I mightn't need another.

    One case got me through two days of Tunaball last summer, but this is something else entirely. I'm kinda thinking that you can always shoot leftover paint if you don't need it, but it's very difficult to shoot not-yet purchased paint if you do need it.

    So what do you all think? How much are the rest of you bringing, and what do you LL vets suggest?

    My thanks.

            I bought 4 to be safe and given that this is kind of a special event I didn't want to limit my self to how much I shoot and I hear it's a target rich environment

                Wow.

                Guess I really underestimated it, eh?

                So BT, when you say that prices come down late in day 2, what kind of drops are you talking?

                Or should I not risk the bother and just get more now?

                  I have 3 cases pre purchased, and $ for 1 more the day of.

                  Once I shoot that, I'm done. Easy.

                        Depending on if you get one of the Greeks to come with, I may snag one of those prepaid cases.

                          just showing the difference in paint prices by area, I know things cost more to run in Chicago than Oklahoma, and that all fields make their money on paint sales but I am making this trip on a shoestring budget and when I run out i'm done.

                            What kind of paint?? Can we transfer that entry? Find out fast cause I need to enter. Will take 2 of the cases also. Is it marb?

                              Presumably bbotts77 would know/be able to facilitate this.

                              If you wish to sell, I will guarantee purchase of at least one case, assuming Beemer takes two. I don't care what kind of paint it is. Evil is dandy, Marbs is dandy.

                              Let me know.
