    Posted: 13 October 2007 at 2:06pm

Got a 98 pro e w/ jj ceramics 12"barrel. Any reccommendations on paint? I am not getting the accuracy I was expecting (inside is clean, oiled...) and I'm guessing it's paint. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Well, it might not be only paint.  Many times the weather has a lot to do with it.  Using CO2?

If you want truly good paint, expect to empty your wallet for it.

Unless you're shooting complete crap right now, I would look at other avenues of action first.

How is the consistency from shot to shot as far as FPS.  I know that can mess up accuracy if its not very close.
Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...

try cleaning/oiling your gun that can make all the difference
if you put 500 dollars into an A5 it is still an A5

I was wondering the same thing! I bought some Big Ball .68caliber paintballs and haven't use them yet. Are they good in a 98c's. I blew one through the barrel and it shot like a air dart!!

are you saying the inside of your barrel is oiled, or the insides of your marker? there should be no oil in the barrel.
