Worst Paint Ever, Lesson Learned

[PzYcO]

hotrod, i told my parents to pick me up the cheapest case of paint and it happned to be the same "PB BE" clear shelled yellow crap paint, my barrel swab got a work out.

Wal-mart is the best paint to buy around where I live. The local paintball shop sells their paint in zip-lock bags, the guy there calls it "home made" paint. This really means that he sweeps up the dropped balls off the floor, and puts them in a bag.

Wow, that's very disturbing to hear. I've never had good results with that crap they call paint...

Ugh did a tournament with 32 degrees paint, it was awful. It cannot take colder weather (40 degrees out that day). 1 ball made it out of the barrel out of 10. And using TK's bounce test, they broke when you dropped them from 3 feet, first time, let alone 6 feet for multiple times.

Really upset me, because even with the breaks and chops, we were in 2nd place for most of the day and just quit because it wasnt worth playing anymore.

Good lord that sux crane.

YOU PAID 75 BUCKS FOR THAT??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 DAMN, lmao, at my field that crap costs like 35 40 bucks., i will never use it again, u know that it was that bad because 1, its BE brown box,
2 because BE brown box means that that paint was also seconds. man the owner really ripped u guys like crazy, he must of made at least 50 bux profit per case on that. not to shabby lmao damn, all i can say is...

you got pwned

It's all about how you take care of the paint after you it gets to you (unless it breaks in shipping). Sounds like his Wal-Mart has some people working there who actually know about care and feeding of paintball. Wish I could trust mine...

I agree 110%, Wes.
32 Degrees Team Colors is, by far, the worst paint I've ever had the misfortune to use. Even worse than the crap they used to sell back in the 1980's.

Egg shaped, dimpled to high heck, and will bust often bust just by dropping it into your pod.
It's also one reason I'll never play at W.W. again.

I think everyone agrees that 32 degrees is some of the worst paint ever. They might make good bath beads, but dont even think about getting them air born.

I also run away from anything that says JT (BE OWNED), it was "GREAT" stuff when made by RPS.

Lets talk about those marbles called Blue Streak, now these things will hurt you. We had a kid using these and I dont think you could break one with a hammer. The welts ran ramped that day.

I love Nelson white box EXTRA BALL, good round balls with no wipe fill. The price is even better at our field, I dont think you can get this unless you are a field owner or buy bulk.

just my 2 cents

[fallout11]

Just a point....cheap paint doesn't have to be crap paint.

Recently, I played in an game where "Dracula" paint was the field/event paint.
"Bloody good paint", according to the box.
Needless to say, I was skeptical.

But despite the laughs from the name, and the very cheap price (even after field markup), it was good stuff.
Nice and fresh, very round, didn't break open when dropped, flew nice and straight, broke cleanly, and left nice large visible marks on players.

I ended up with only 2 barrel breaks out of a whole case.
Just goes to show.....

Tork

That crap is like wax after a minute or so...

I still have some attatched to my gloves and jersey from a month+ ago...

[Python14]

Tork is pretty raunchy...but the worst I've ever used what proball. Shooting it was fine, but getting someone out with it was a different story. I could shoot someone 3, 4, 5 times and not one splat. Ugly stuff.
