What paint are you using?

[DK1]

I've thinking about doing a little testing, and I'm trying to figure out what paint to use. I've not used anything but field paint (FPO field here) in years, so I'm out of the loop on the quality paint nowadays.

I'm looking for something that is consistently round, and hopfully has a bright shell, as this might be on video. The bright shell will help it show up better. I'd prefer not to have a super-brittle shell, as I don't want it breaking in my halo, and this will be fairly high speed... I'm not looking for a mess at high ROF. Oh, a two tone shell would be a plus also probably, but not a necessity.

I've looked at RP marbs, evil, and flash, but haven't used any of them in a long time. I'm down on Diablo paint, I've had bad experiences every time I've used it. Possibly ZAP chronic? Or JT Maxim? Heck, Brass Eagle paint *looks* good, as far as my purposes, but we all know how their QC is.

I'd go with perfect circle, but I doubt I could afford that Price generally isn't a concern with any production paint, because most likely I'll only need one case.

Thanks for the input.

btw, I've used mostly Point Blank lately, so anything will be a step up

Blaze! My fav paint, I use it on my Speed and E-mag both with Halo B's and it is the best shooting paint I have ever used. Well.. best shooting paint under $40, lol

Okie dokie... I personally use Evil paint, it has a nice bright round shell, and the fill is snot-like nasty thick... almost impossible to wipe. The RPS Marbalizers are the same way, very similar to the Evil paint, good stuff.

The only other kind of paint that I use is Ultimate Chronic, the shells on this are very brittle, and ensure a break almost every time is comes in contact with your opposition. This also has a good round shell and a bright, thick fill.

Hope some of that helps a little...

Anything and everything from Severe. Awesome paint. I have YET to have anything bad come out of a box from them.

My personal favorite hands down is marbalizers. Best paint every made.

second choice would be PMI Premiums. I have yet to try them, but from all reports I've heard, if you can't get marbs, then get PMI Premiums.

Ick, I hate Severe

[Wrathchild]

Evil is my top choice... Although Inferno and Hellfire are both nice too...

[Torbo]

severe cyclone is absolutly nasty. and hellfire is pretty sweet too.

[bryceeden]

Zap Chronic. Best paint hands down.

[Load SM5]

Most PMI paint is pretty similiar. Most of it is nice and round and consistant. Premiums are my best all around practice stuff. Pink shows up well on film, too.

I have a nice case of ultra evil in my closet waiting to stain the bejeezus outta somebody.

[laxkid]

evil or blaze or some hellfire those are all nice or midnight if I am running low on cash

Then don't get shot by it.

so, has anyone compared chronic with ultimate chronic? Or how about the high end RPS stuff (marbs, allstar, flash, and evil), is it all the same, with just different shell colors?

thanks, this has been quite informing so far...
