What's the oldest paint that you've used with good results?

[nippinout]

I have 2 cases of 3 year old Proball. Two bounce.

I have only shot about one hundred rounds of it and it seems to shoot fairly straight. Haven't chronoed though.

You can definitley see the seams.

Can paint really keep this long?

[Brak]

Nope. ive used severe standard from Christmas, but it sucked

[manike]

Two cases of two year old hellfire that was stored in the garage and then attic as it was too brittle to use (zero bounce) that is until Level 10 came out

Then I used it all without issues It had "sweated" some but shot just great!

[nippinout]

sweated?

So you're saying that you had sweaty balls?

Do you have to deal with humidity issues manike at home more often than when MIA occurs?

Definitely not All Star. Fresh out of the box and it bounces like mad.

platinum baby

2 yr old proball platinum. in my RTP w/o LX no less. only problem was it wasnt breaking. i was shooting at some poor guy, thinking i was missing him, until the ref told me to ease off, cause i had just rained an entire hopper of rock hard paint on his head. ouch.

Some PMI premiums I had that were a year old shot well, but there was a drop in performance.

Wanna know how old this paint is? The box of paint has two bags. 1250 a piece. When was the last time you saw a 2500 count box of paint! LOL

I don't even know how I would ship paint to you without screwing it up.

i had some REALLY old marbs, i dont know how old, but they came with my brothers prolite, and they were open, and half gone then (a year ago) and i recently used them, they wolnt shoot out of my mag, i dunno y, but i can shoot them with my other gun, and there really cool, there so mushy that they bounce off of the things they hit (its not because theyer hard), so they make for really good, reusable target shooting balls, they still shoot straight, but they dont pop, so i can reuse them, its really cool

Last year. I think it was some 32deg paint that was sold in individual 200 round boxes all inside a case.

[Cryer]

Out of curiousity, I put 2 bags in the refigerator (not the freezer) for a week. When dropped, most of the paint would barely survive the first bounce.

I shot one whole bag thru my LX mini with no breaks. I emptied the other bag by throwing individual paintballs at my little brothers.

The oldest paint I've shot was about about 4-5 months old, but it was still much better quality then the test I performed above.
