There is no given "best paint" in any bore size. There are simply too many factors out there from weather to temperature to your actual bore size (and it's not .68, try closer to .69) as well as what type of barrel you are shooting (flatline vs others) etc. etc. etc.

Pro-Caps brand paints tend to be very high on quality.
RPS's higher-end tends to hold together very well (All star, marbs, etc)
I always like pro-ball when it turned a little colder.

It just all depends on what works best for you.

i love the RPS premiums I use.  The yhave a nice shell and a thick fill.  as far as accuracy you need to match the bore size of the paint up with the barrel.  The yall say .68 but there is usually a little difference between paints.  that is why barrel kits are so poular.  you can match the bore size up to any paint with the different backs.  it all comes down to prefference and barrel matching.
Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...

Theres basically 3 classes of paint in my opinion. Tourney, Medium, and Stupid. Heres a little generalization - Ill try to put popular brands... but I really only know whats popular in Jersey.

In the tourney class there are brands like
-Marballizers (Very popular)
-Evil
-Origin
etc.
They are all excellent, worth every penny. Usually Around $60 for 2000


Medium you can get
-Stingers
-Zap
etc.
Very good paint, they shoot just as well as tourney in my opinion, just use them promptly after buying. Around 35-50$ for 2000


Stupid you can get
-Seconds
-All Brass Eagle Paint (Like MonsterBalls)
etc.
I wouldn't buy 4000 of these for 3 dollars. Waste of money, and really a waste of vegetable oil and dye. Dont buy these ever, they dont work, and they are usually 5 dollars less then medium paints. Around 30$ for 2000


I hope that kind of helps. I wrote that a little lazily.

I eat Marballizers for breakfast instead of Cheerios...
In fact, I ate so many of them I got a cool shirt!

I could probably trade that thing for a DM7 on PBN if I played my cards right. Rare+Old-School = AGG to them....

I had a bad experience with midnight... every 3rd one broke and that was with my barrel kt.  I think the paint was sold old honestly.  you could toss it and it would break.  I may call draxxus up to see if they will do anything for me.
