Keep them dry for one. Keep them in a dark place in a tightly closed container, and rotate the bags or containers at least once every two weeks.

you think that if you put them in the deep freeze and then like a few
days b4 take them out that they would be better or anything

No, never freeze them. The Expansion cuased by the freezing paint makes the shells brittle.

yep, that's right. I kept paint for several months that way. They worked great. |

NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil.

Ya! i like the freezing idea too, I mean my pizza pops stay fresh for years frozen. And if there is one thing i know for sure its that whatever is true for pizza pops is also true for paintball because they are practicly the same thing...........Right? |

I think I have an idea: Putting your paintballs into a cooler with no ice/freeze packs. This will provide the cool, dark, dry place that you need. |

I keep my paint in a padded heat bag, and the day before I play I turn the bag on to the lowest heat setting and it keeps the paintball in very good condition.But if you are heating up paintball be carefull not to heat them up too hot as this causes the quality to decrease, as the ball start to get flat spots. |
