Need paint advice.

[Driv3n`]

Alright, as far as paintballs go I have 1 of 3 choices.

A - Buy field paint for 70 a case, way to expensive. (not sure which brand)

B - Order the paintballs, Alot of people recommend me NOT to order paintballs though.

C - Get Blue Streak paintballs from walmart, for 40 a case. I've heard a lot of bad things about blue streak.

------------

Also, How does the whole "paint to barrel match" thing work? It's confusing.


Give me your opinions please!

$70 for field paint is not a bad price.Keep in mind it's the primary way your local field stays in business,if you don't support them you'll be back playing outlaw ball in the woods.

As for the other 2,buying online is rarely a proble,

And don't waste you time on Walmart paint.

I bought 2 cases off ebay. It came with one broken ball. It wasn't bad, just dumped the bag in a towel and cleaned it up. Could have been worse tho. At least the seller packaged it reasonably well.

Don't do option C. I don't know how they can call that paint. It reminds me of big cold tablets like nyquil or something.

Is your field field paint only? If not just go with B. I haven't had any trouble buying paint online. Look around there are some stores that guarantee the condition of the paint.

If you are really uncomfortabel buying paint on line then just go with A and shoot less.

70 a case isn't bad? - I'm not even gonna reply to that.

Yeah, I don't mind Supporting my field by buying their paint, BUT when they nearly double the price of paint it's going to far.

Why does everyone say that bluestreak is so crappy? Personally I think that you are following a trend of "wallmart has crappy paint" that was started by some rich kids.

Have you personally used the paint? If not then you don't know. - Thanks

I will tell you that nationwide,$70 a case is about average. Many fields charge upwards of $100 and I've seen paint as low as the $40s.

You can't get decent paint,even online,shipped to your house for half of $70.If you can,me and everyone else would like to know where.

No litterally half the price, but close to it.

Try these Feugo


They have good reviews, and I've heard good things about them.

[RRfireblade]

Close.

Add $8-$10 shipping to that as well.

And I did say 'decent' paint, which I can't say whether or not "Fuego" is.

But if YOU think it is,then that sounds like your answer.

(And what I said about supporting local fields is true,even if you don't like it)


Added:

Staged na, but it's odd paint to say the least. very wet bags and translucent fill. Made in Ireland... I got 5 cases of it

Found that in another thread,sounds familiar.

Supporting a local field and getting raped for 70 a case are two different things.

blue streak skid mark?

I'm such a bad apple.


$70 for a case of paint for just normal paintball is excessive.


I've ordered paint online and it came out just fine. Shipped in a timely fashion, no breaks, cheap, good quality, free shipping. (I ordered Zap Spank from pbgear.com, FYI). At the time it was roughly $30 a case; probably closer to $33 now I think.


I've also tried the blue bucket stuff from the local sporting goods store. $30 for a case; the label is "Zap Rec Series." It had a date stamp on it -- less than a week old. Cracked it open and looked at it. The paint shape looked great to me; no dimples, round, pretty regular. On-field performance matched what I expected from looking at the paint -- it worked great. I had no accuracy or breakage problems.



Quite frankly, at $30 a case, why are you listening to other people's opinions? Try forming your own opinion.

Buying paint at a field for play and walking into a store and buying paint are 2 different things.

That Blue stuff at Walmart is absolutely the worst paint you can put through your gun. (Or try to). If you buy at Walmart you have to buy the $27.77 for a 1000 paint. It ends up being $55 a case then. The paint isn't too bad. Sports Chalet sells 2000 rounds for $39.99 in a bucket and its not too bad either.

I get my paint for $34 a case free shipping online. I've order over 20 cases and not had a single break. I'm sure the day is coming. But I'm happy.
