I never had a problem with marbz or PMI premium.  Just shoot a range of good paint till you find something that works.

most draxxus/diablo will give you awesome results, but its expensive.

my personal favourite paints are draxxus rec-ball's and midnight's

with a flatline through, get hellfires. their the only paint ive seen shoot through a flatline without troubles.

don't get tactical.  i had a case of them.  at first, they were great and broke on the target easily.  but if you only shoot two of three hoppers, and then just leave the balls in ur house for a few weeks, they r crap.  they have whole bunch of dimples on them before u even pick them up!

and does anybody know of a good paint to use on a spyder pilot?

I've got about half a case of Marbs (from about 2 months ago) , and a fresh case I plan on tapping into this weekend , so far both the old and new paint appear to be very undimpled and good to go , it has been shooting thru my .688"-689" barrels just perfectly . Tippmann , Spyder , and cocker (JT 2 piece , SP AA , and freak , respectively)

 I keep it cool , dry and roll the container around every week to prevent dimpling of the balls .

SL68-II , micro honed and polished .688" bore . Tuff Enuf .
Widowmaker , under construction

Marbs will work well. PMI Premiums are nice also.

Just about any paint is fine for Flatty. Stay away from walmart.

Flatline was engineered using Marbalizer paint.

98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun. If you would like to bonus ball these idiots put this in your sig.

the guy who sold me my gun said to get either avalanch or scorch.  that is for my soyder pilot.  but that gun chopped in the first 10 balls u shoot so im returning it and getting a 98c pro.  does paint really make a difference depending on which gun u r using?  if so, what works well with the 98c pro?

Anything will work fine. I use Walmart paint for non-field use. Just make sure its in good condition when you buy it, and take care of it when you do have it.
