    Decent Paint Prices?

    Its been a while since ive bought paint outside of a local field so im not sure whats good and what isnt. Ive done this to support local fields and shops but some of their prices are getting out of hand. Ive found a few places where i can get the paint listed below at the price listed. All i really need to know is if any are decent deals. Please list 1-8 and put yes or no as to whether or not its a good deal. Any positive help would be great, thanks.

    All prices are per case (2000).

    1. RP Mid Evil - $37
    2. RP Premium - $40 (i think this one is high, so ive been told anyway).
    3. Xball Bronze - $32
    4. Draxxus Blaze - $32
    5. Draxxus Rec Sport - $38
    6. PMI Stinger - $34
    7. Draxxus Midnight - $39
    8. RPS Ultra Evil (from last years NPPL, hence the price) - $24

      lol, sorry but thats not an option.

      The reason the Ultra Evil is so cheap (and it is) is because its from last years NPPL. Im not sure if its worth buying anymore. Its a fairly thin shelled paint isnt it?

        /\ beat me to it.

        RPS Ultra Evil for $24!?

        Wow.

        Yes it is VERY thin. It was a really nice paint.
        IDK about now its probably badly dimpled

          Read though, theres a reason why. Im not sure if it makes any difference though, which is why im asking.

          Yeah, im gonna have to find out if its dimpled or not.

          ANYWAY, other than the ultra how are the prices?

            Not sure if it helps but...

            Our local field area had...

            2. RP Premium - $40
            ~ similar to what is charged at local retail outlet chains

            4. Draxxus Blaze - $32
            ~ we paid $60/case @ the field, it was there "top end box",
            ~ they switched to "Field Blaze" if i remember right, which is just field color only Blaze,
            ~ they then switched to Nelspot @ $45 as too many people still complained

            5. Draxxus Rec Sport - $38
            ~this was always lower then Blaze at our fields, and similar to this price...I think $35/case

            6. PMI MARBALIZER
            ~ like $60/case at local retail outlet

            7. Draxxus Midnight - $39
            ~ this was our midgrade paint and at the same price $40-$45/case

            ...and I always blindly bought the Blaze @ $60 after bad time with the others, and now the field only stocks the Nelspot and lower.

                i have talked to some field owners and the reason why some paint prices have gone up is because the suppliers have upped their prices. but that could be their reasoning to adjust their prices...

                the field i play at is BYOP, but their nightmare runs $60 per case. ran buy the cheap paint at wally world. bought impact last time and it shot very straight but then again i use a freak barrel system.
                shoot you later
                i play for the game not the fame.

                      Proball is now Procaps..

                      I wouldn't use year old Ultra Evil... That's stuff finicky as it is when it's fresh, I can't imagine how it gets when it's been sitting.

                      I still standbye Stinger as some of the best practice paint money can buy.

                          I've used proball several times. Started using it last year actually and I like it.

                            At one NEPL we had Ultra Evil and every gun was a flamethrower; and even though it was a chilly day I still wouldnt shoot it again. I mean, even the Trix's werent shooting it, and Ive seen those things shoot 3 year old, dimpled paint

                              I wish I lived in any of your areas! The price for field paint where I normally go is $90 a case for Marballizer's
