If so how have they worked for you? I'm bringing some in to test and may start carrying them but I'd like to know what people think.

One of the local fields has been using that paint. The Black Lotus and Bushido are decent paints. Very brittle, it will break easily with a drop test.
The Voodoo is AWESOME. Great tourney grade paint, super round, and great for breaking on target as well. Not quite as brittle as the others in my experiance, but very good nonetheless.
Hope this helps -
i think i've seen the voodoo around before. I believe they are nelsplat brand. If so id carry them. As for the others, they look to me like they are just another brand of paint that took time to attract customers with fancy art. lolComment

I'd like to hear some opinions on my selection so for my events and field and stuff my line I'm looking at/carrying already is:
White Box and Revolt for $30/case
Cryptic, Ink'd, Stinger, Black Lotus, Bushido, Proball, and Origin Classic for $40/case
All Star, Combat 68, Proball Platinum, and Origin Signiture for $50/case
Chronic, Evil, Voodoo, and Chronic Pro for $60/case
How does this compare to most FPO type things? Does it look reasonable? What are your opinions?Comment

Your prices are better than what the fields around here charge.Originally posted by bryceeden
White box 40
mid grade 50
tourney 60
and really good premium paints go 65-70 at many fields in this area.
I really enjoy some of the paints you have listed. Stinger can be had cheaper, and I think of it as practice only paint. I can't stand cryptic/inked, and think you might as well shoot a marble at people. Chronic, Evil, Voodoo, etc. are REALLY good. We started shooting Chronic at the end of last years CFOA schedule and were quite impressed with its performance. I like the little ju-ju heads on the Voodoo.
I think your prices are well in line. Hope you have a good deal of luck. I figure that at the prices you are offering you must be getting a pretty good skid price.....Comment

I've used Chronic in the past at a scenario field that was FPO. I believe they were selling it for $60 so to me that's reasonable. Those are good prices on Cryptic and Proball I've used both and paid about the same. That wasn't a field price on those two they were from a dealer so I received a discount. Also I know All Star goes for $50 on-line if you can find it...so all in all they look like great prices. Alot cheaper than what most fields in this area charge and those are good paints not cheap junk they use.Originally posted by bryceedenComment

I've been carrying the Ink'd and Cryptic alternatlvly, Proball Platinum, and Cronic for the last 6 years but I recently added a few new kinds(all star, evil, and pcs) and my sales and stuff went way up and I've had excelent feedback on having a big selection to choose from so while I want to have a good selection I want to make sure that its all high quality(I agree with the Ink'd being marbles but the people that buy it do so for that reason, it'll never ever break in the barrel and they're not worried about bounces) as my reputation rides on high quality products.Last edited by bryceeden; 11-02-2007, 10:54 AM.Comment

I used the bushido once since it has ninjas on it (or atleast people with swords) it shot good...I think it bounced a little..its been awhile if I recall for the price its not bad.
I think Ive shot VooDoo, if not then ive heard good things about it..Comment

yeah the all stars is a good paint along with chronic and stingers are pretty nice for the price.
I mostly use fireball and blaze tho because i reside an hour away from hells survivors paintball field and play sppl alot.Comment

I've shot the voodoo before. Made by bandai (the anime peeps) right?
Pretty good paint IIRC. Larger bore, round, shot straight. I do remember the fill being REALLY thick though, but that may just be how the field ordered it.Comment

Cryptic is a good low grade paint. It doesn't break easily and is far from round. It shoots, but is noticeably less accurate than other paints. I've also had some bad experiences with Origin is good overall, but every once in a while you'll get a bad batch (in both Classic and Signature).Comment

you realize how hard it is going to be to enforce field paint only if your using so many different types of paint...t33kyboy "So if a cat is dropped from 11 inches, it will most likely die."Comment

Your prices seem on par with the places around here.
Like trevor said, doing FPO with that many kinds of paint is pretty much pointless. Most places that do FPO carry one brand of paint in 3 diff grades at most so its easy to tell who is using what.
If you plan on using that many kinds of paint just charge a few bucks per person if they use their own paint. That way you wont totally get screwed.Comment

It really hasn't been a big problem in the past. I had one team (most of whom are banned from my field for life due to an attempt to injure a player on an opposing team) that frequently tried to sneek paint in but they were never successful.Comment

I've seen Bushido used as a field paint around here. It's a great rental field paint because of the toughness of the shell. Hence, no significant problems with balls breaking in the rental guns. But, for the rec and tny player, the shell tends to be a bit too tough resulting in more than a few bounces. Bushido shoots pretty well, though. I'd give it a try, especially for use in your private games which tend to be all rentals.
If the VooDoo is simply the Nelsplat repackaged, remember that Nelsplat (one of my favorite paints) is easily had online for $37 a case. I'm a big big fan of Nelsplat.
Your prices seem very decent. Keep up the good work! The paintball community appreciates it, seriously!
