    Paint

    Ok, what paint do you prefer? And why? Is there a kind of paint you insist on, or do you use anything?

    What are marbs like now? I heard they had a starch shell without a visible seam.

    I'm personally looking for some relatively tough, but still tourney worthy, and accurate paint that will not break in my qloader.

    i REALLY like evil. it fits dye stainless barrels (my barrel of choice, when the paint fits) perfectly, is round, nice thick, visable fill and i don't think it ever bounces.

    i also am quite impressed with severe tempest (it's not "tourny" paint) is a bit cheaper, not as thick of a fill, nor is as bright. but also very round. and shoots quite well.

    i generally try and stay away from all things draxxus; when i can.

    paint, being as it is; is dependant on the batch, storage, and age. i know people that hate evil, and swear by blaze.

    go to your store, see what they have, buy a bag and try it. find what works for you.

        I prefer Draxxas/Diablo paints. Formula 13 is a nice paint. Heat is a good practice paint.

          i love the mid-evil, and zap primer, its cheap, tuff shell, and pretty thick fill, but tastes gross they use corn starch in the fill. Chronic is my favorite tourny paint

            I refuse to use marbalizer. Very round paint but the shell is too hard. I always see them bounce off people and it gets too frustrating.

            Edit: Just started using blaze and it seems to work pretty good.

              Usually I use Draxxus blaze but I have also found zap pro series to be ok. My 'mag loves both of them and I can even shoot them with my raptor if needed.

                  I like RPS paints and Draxxus is really good.

                  But I use mostly crap i.e. low priced Zap which has a paste fill.

                              My favorite are Marbs and Hellfire but they are both expensive. I mostly use All-Star. Big ball is not bad for the price.
