    -Blaze
    -Hellfire
    -El Tigre
    -Midnight

    I have used all off these. I haven't used El Tigre for a while. It has to atleast been over a year or so...but that stuff shot great. I don't think I have shot anything better than PMI out of my mag. But Blaze, Hellfire, and Midnight shoot great too.

      Hmm...just got back from the field today. I was soo annoyed on how I would shoot a guy see the ref come over and then have him walk away since it bounced.it was 80/case for the cheapest :-( Though I only used about ~500, it was a nice game, though I was new to the field and hesitent.

          I usually think of paint as crappy or normal. I don't grow fond over paint.

            I have to say, the best paint I've encountered has to be PMI premium. I've bought marbs before and used them....sure their roundness is superb and the fills are thick, but they simply refuse to break. I did a bounce test (dropping a paintball from shoulder height) on a batch of marbs and the best one bounced around 8 times before it broke. Diablo is ok, but more expensive than PMIs. Haven't tried anarchy or any of that (not available in my area....yet) though.

              -RPS Advantage
              -Diablo (now Draxxus)

              Both paints work great for me, thought I like the advantage because its not glossy and is therefore harder to see. But Diablo paint is also great because the fill is so incredibly bright!
              Tried using Nelson but it was horrible, was WAY TOO fragile, and it was lopsided. (Never went through the half case I bought, ~300 left)

                I love marbs, they do seem to bounce a little more than I'd like, but that has saved my buns a couple times also... Diablo is pretty good for the price, I'd say that is the best middle ground, I HATE severe! It made my RT very sick.

                    I have fun shooting seconds paint, especially since we "specially" treat ours to increase the paint's fragility. But for completely unaltered paint, I would shoot Blaze

                        if given a choice, I'll usually take Severe Cyclone.

                          -Best Paint is Diablo Imperial, can't say enough about it. It the best marking paint i have ever seen. As for quality it is Hellfire with a different fill so you know its going to fly straight. You will pay a premium though I think its like 90 or 100 a case.

                          For Cheap paint try Diablo Rec Sport. As with any cheap paint you get what you pay for, but sometimes it is Hellfire or Inferno seconds so its kind of like a box of chocolates...
