Go to a local pro-shop and get some whitebox paint. The actual brand "White Box" has some good stuff for really cheap. My store sells it for $35 and it is perfectly round with no breaks or dimples. I love it.

Euless, Texas. Most likely way too many miles for just a box of paint. I don't buy shipped paintballs because they tend to get broken with the shipping. ActionVillage has White Box paint. I don't know how well it will ship though.

I bought a case of white box from D.icks and it's worked flawlessly for me. In fact, that was my second case of it.

Whitebox is hit or miss. If you want cheap paint online, you're gonna have to buy in fairly significant quantity. Actionvillage will give you free shipping on any order over $99 including paint, so take your pick there. Firstcallpaintball will ship any four cases for free.

Here is my little pathetic story:

I bought 1000 paintballs (yeah, not much cash left) from www.allpaintballsupplies.com along with a blade trigger.  Trigger came on time, alone with the paintballs (3 days!).  Problem was, I ordered Tippmann Werks paint, which were stopped being produced more that 1 year ago.  When I got this so called Werks, it was just a ripoff of lousy, dimpled monsterballs and whatever the heck they put in there. I did use the paint over the weekend, and then called them and told them how bad it was.  After leaving several messages and no reply back, I was ready to call my credit card company and make a claim (I took a few balls out of the package which were just outragously dimpled.  I keep them on my desk just in case.).   Anyway, to make this medium sized story short, today I received an email saying they were going to send me a free case of Draxxus Midnights (2000) free of charge and free of shipping for my troubles.

Not a bad deal. Getting something like paintballs from Tippmann was your mistake though especially with how bad their barrels are with accuracy.

Robo you make a great point haha. The Werks line of anything never came out that great.

As for ordering paint online, one must be very careful. Make sure the supplier gives you a refund/free box of paint if any balls are broken when shipped.

As for you xXK1CK1NVV1NGXx, how do you think your local paintball shop got the paint, by making it in the back?   Ordering paintballs online isnt the big issue, its how well the supplier ships them and their guarantee.

There is a National Paintball Supply near me and my pro shop actually drives to go pick there paint up. I have never had a broken ball out of the boxes of paint I have bought from them.
