New APX paint reviews

[lasrsktr]

First I've heard of this thread.

Thanks for the honest replies. Do any of you have unopened stuff left that you can send me pictures on?

I'm really sorry it turned out so poorly, that's not what I was told to expect.

If you can get me pictures, I'll get in contact with my factory guy and see what I can do.

I know I was clear on saying that this was prototype paint, but I was lead to believe that it had already tested very well, so this is very much a surprise to me.

One of the reasons this post was thrown up was probably due to it being prototype paint, and we all knew this and was part of the conversations we were having about it yesterday.


I am almost a full time pump player and I had to switch from pump to a semi due to the paint and the need for accuracy by volume..

once i switched to semi... I have never blended paint as much as I did using an ego.....


two or three breaks per 100 rounds wasn't a good ratio!

Aside from this.. thanks for the paint deal and it was for charity, so theres not much you can complain about... or at least in my eyes...

Just saw this thread. Was kinda surprised to see it. Not to say any of the above comments aren't accurate. Just not sure this was the way I expected feedback to be given.

I just want to thank Vf-xx and APX for providing us this paint deal as they were responsible for over $300 of the $1,200 raised.

Not a complaint thread, but a review is needed to prevent this from going into production and i doubt we would get a good review through PMs. This way the company can view the problems for them selves.

Great event and great prices for everything.

I am not woried about it and will buy APX regular paint in the future as i have had great luck with it in the recent past :)

From what I understand they got rid of the silica gel packs due to complaints that they were accidentaly loading this into their hopper? I think thats a mistake.

Thanks for the pictures Tracy. I'll get them sent over and see what I can get done.

All - I will talk with the factory this week and see if there's anything else to be done. There may be, there may not be. I did try to be clear about the prototype status, but still, it's no fun to not be able to play a good day due to paint issues.

Due to personal schedule, I may not have a good answer for anybody this week, but please be sure that I am looking into things.

I hope everybody managed to have fun anyway!!!

And there are no hurt feelings on my end here. I believe that people should be allowed to discuss their opinions and reviews openly and clearly. No point in trying to cover things up. That's how bad rumors start.

So, I'll say it one more time: This is not our standard paint. I believe that the field was running some of our standard paint, so you should have had stuff to compare with.

We'll be in touch.
