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

3 year old CPX special that had been sitting in my garage... most likely had seen about 130 degree temperature range in that time. Thought it might be a good paint to test the Pipe barrel to see how well it shoots clean....1500 balls later and I still did not break a ball. Finally had to cut a ball and put it in the breach.

I openned a 1/2 case of marballizer from 1995 (it was gator green) in 1999 for an informal practice (I disappeared from paintball for 3 years at this time). Loaded it up in a Hypered Mag (a mag with a "Hyper" insert in an automag valve) and shot the entire bag with no break and every ball breaking on the bunkers and opponents. I wish they can go back and make paintballs this way again. they were the best.

I bought some seconds from a crappy field I played at once THREE years ago. And that paint was probably already a year old when I bought it. It's some very old Diablo seconds. I have one pod left that I've been keeping in my room just because. If you open the pod the paint smells VERY bad. One whiff will make you throw up.

I've used two year old marbs that worked better than most of the new stuff my friends were using. No breaks at all. Good accuracy. Marbs are bar none the best paint you can buy. Too bad its close to $80 a case.

New marbs aren't as high quality as I used to remember. The new stuff broke (before level 10) on my Hypermag (when it was still running) around 2000 just after I started working here. I was very disappointed with the new stuff but wish I had more of the old stuff LOL

A month ago I fired off about 500 rounds of PMI Premium that had been in the pods of an old harness in my gear bag for over a year. Level 7 MiniMag, J&J ceramic barrel ... not one break. Stuff worked like a charm and flew straight.

I kept a case in the refrigerator in zip-lock bags for a year and it worked like new
