Crappy Paint

[f3rr3+]

unfortunatly we all at one point or another have to learn to live with crappy field paint

I ususally don't use Marbs. They shoot straight like most RPS/PMI paint but don't always break. They are good woods ball paint but not good tourney paint.

EVIL is alot more brittle and if you can score Ultra EVIL even better.

I ususally shoot Chronic or Ultimate Chronic. Only problem is the ZAP uses a more gelatin based shell so when the temps and humidity go up the regular Chronic gets bouncy.

The Ultimate Chornic uses a diffrent shell that is VERY brittle and fill that is one of the thickest out there. Problem is that as the paint gets older the shells get even more brittle and you can get barrel breaks. But I guarentee you will not get a bounce off of it.

Dont know why you all are baggin on bigball...I think its just about all I use...along with pmi premium every once in a while (i get free cases from my local store), and once a few months ago I used blaze...and it was horrible...dimpled like mad after sitting for 3 days...but the price was right (2 orings and 20 minutes fixing a spyder).

I think paint varies greatly from place to place.

I have gotten cases of Blaze that were supreme from a local shop, and then gone 3 hours away and gotten Blaze that was pure junk. Same with the Big Ball, it could be great were you are, but in my hometown's main shop, the Big Ball really licks dong. Not trying to bash the paint itself, my personal experiences with it just havent been all that good.

I have a bag of marbs from 16 months ago... kept open-to-air for all that time, never rolled.

I put some through my phantom yesterday - shot beautifully.

I just ordered two more cases.

marbs = awesome.

premiums = when I'm being cheap.

Hey Frag, how do you like those polar ices? I usually shoot evil, but have been having lotsa barrel breaks with them in the cold. I was thinking of trying out a new "winter" paint.

[FragTek]

afran, I absolutely love it for cold weather play, it has eliminated ALL of my barrel breaks. Whenever I use the stuff barrel breaks are a thing of the past, and they are accurate as all hell too. I like it alot! Give it a shot sometime, i'm sure it will save you some squeegeeing!

Field paint is good stuff here in VA :) They have a wide variety of quality balls to choose from.

However, back home in WA, the field paint sucked nutz. You could choose from Severe, Severe Hurricane, Big Ball, or White Box (u dun wanna know what's in the white box!). Needless to say all that paint is garbage.

If you have never seen or used Severe paint, its a complete joke!

Field paint in VA? Where are you playing where it is FPO? Cause to the best of my knowledge field paint at pevs is overpriced 32* competetion

Luckily its not FPO :)

What I meant to say is the paint that they sell at Pev's :) It's not FPO, youre right, but they carry Evil and what not

Pevs the stores do, but do you mean the field also? Cause that would be a recent improvement :) (but then again, everything has been a recent improvement ever since they moved in)

Do you go to Fairfax Pevs?

all fields should use blaze, or nelson hot shot. maybe even diablo 2nds.

those are the best medium to low priced paints


but then there's the BE stuff... Dick's can't keep the shelves full of it!

[ExtremeODD]

the place i go to is atomix (look at pbreview.com under michigan) they have PMI primium feildpaint at 55bux a case, ive only chopped it, nothing else. FPO and they got good FP so its all good

That i'm not sure about, haven't bought paint from Pev's @ AG... Only from Pev's Fairfax, so maybe I'm wrong :)

i usually only use RPS allstars i had no differences between them and marbilizers and for 8$ less why not get the allstars although marbilizers have a better thicker fill its no big deal for woods ball... but at the local places around here draxxus hellfire is some good stuff its only feild paint around here and ihavent been disappointed yet. and rps premiums arnt bad either and i only have one barrel and have never had problems with breaks with the feild paint

[afrankart]

A lot of the RPS/PMI paint I have been seeing at the field lately has been crap. Oversized, huge uneven seams, and dimples.
