It's excellent quality. He ships super fast and I've never gotten a broken ball... the reason I've bought 12 cases so far.

how good is the paint? if you had to compare it to an rps paint, which level would it be on? menace, premium or marbs?

Walmart... Cheap paint is good paint...

im all for rps.. love my marbs and evil!! ive also shot the spectrum of paint and if its cheap you want then GAP or one of the diablo paints pretty good.. had problems with tippmans new paint and never tried wgps. i used chronic of coarse it was ultimate and it worked great but with age the paint became more and more brittle to the point where it did start to cause problems. right now we are running a sponsership from gap so thats what i shoot and ive had better but it works!

Go with ZAP Primer white fill if you want a cheap paint that markes VERY well.

Chronic is really thick and breaks but if you are spending $60 a case look for Ultimate Chronic. Very Brittle and thick fill that you can't wipe.

That crap stains if you don't get it out quick.

Last I checked, Evil is PMI is RPS, one big happy family. I'd have a lot better things to say about RPS, but the only truly fresh paint i've used from them was a bag of Premium, so really, my experience isn't a good indicator. Even with that, I still like midevil & premium. I've found that Blaze ages rather poorly & even on a just opened bag sometimes likes to bounce a lot (on a speedball field, no longballing there), plus it's tiny. If you use it fast & get it fresh & cheap it'll work fine with a small barrel. Whatever you get, make sure it's fresh.

EXACTLY! Actually the Orange isn't as bad and Pink is no longer made.

depends where you live at also, up here in washington (yes it rains all the freakin time) rps seems to work better cuz of the dustier shell rather than the gloss coat that draxxus and severe has, thus i shoot premiums, marbs, evil and the such

I have been a little put off by RPS products lately due to the fact that their bags suck. Not only to they come apart, but the bags actually have little holes manufactured in them. Yeah, that helps keep piant fresh! What are they thinking? Seems like RPS has definitely gone downhill since PMI took over.

It is very good paint, the local indoor field sells it during byop days, I have a bag up in my room right now actually, the stuff works awesome.

I haven't used RPS or the others in a long time. Because I get Diablo Heat and Draxus Recball for $35 shipped/case, I really haven't used anything else. At Shatnerball I used Zap Primer... mainly because Centerflag was selling it, but also because the PMI guys left thier truck in the 80*-90* weather for 3 straight days. Primer was pretty good, but as noted above w/ Chronic - leaves nasty stains.

I would compare Heat/Recball to Blaze. I like the glossy smooth shells, rather than the matte rough PMI shells.

Man, I don't even want to know the shelf life of that crap.

Draxxus Competitive Edge (white box)!!!

Should be able to find it for around $30 a case. And we went through 15 cases yesterday at practice, and I didn't have one break in my shocker. And all the guys loved it!!

Infact, we are planing to use it in tournaments next year!!

I'm with Leatherpants on this issue...

Go zap paints, I've had the lest trouble with their paints. I use to be all about RPS..more specifically the Evil and the PMI Prem, but they have gone down hill since they implemented changes to their shell/fill.
