I bought a ton of no-name-brand paint before I decided to buy a flatline. Would it be better for me to go ahead and use the crap paint in my flatline, or should I waste or sell my crap paint first and then buy a flatline along with some premium paint? And, what brands are good for flatlines? |

Don't use crap paint in a flatline- it will hate you. Look in the uber upgrade FAQ someone went and graded all the paint in accordance to a flatline. It's a colourful list of paint. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |

I agree with *afritz*. I would rather have alot of paint than a little paint with a great barrel. Cuz then u might not get 2 show off ur barrels skillz cuz u would have 2 b all cautious about ur paint cuz u aint got much after u bought a flatline.
P.S. Where did u get the paint and how much was it and how many balls did u get? ------------- Its not the quality of the gun that counts, its the player and how he knows how to use his gun. I got a 98c w/ a double trigger and a couple personal mods. im still better than most who have an a-5. |
