hey guys, I finally got around to buying a case of paint, seeing how you save a few bucks when you buy big. any way, I expected there to bee a few broken balls, and there was... Id say about 3 or 4. Iv never bought in bulk, so is that normal??? it's not the best paint in the world, but it's not bad paint. |

on the walgreens commercial everthing is perfect. its ok to have a few broken, thats due to delivery, but if u ever get a lot broken, get a refund |

Cheap paint usually has a few breaks in it. Usually better paint ($40+) doesn't have any. My local shops will check your case for you and swap out the bag with broken paint to a bag with no broken paint. -------------  irc.esper.net #paintball |

If you plan from buying paint from somewhere and you're not paying there, always open the box and check the paint before you buy -------------

You should always check the paint you are buying to make shure none are broken, and I buy paint from walmart all the time and have no problems with it at all.

It can be bad, from what I have seen, if you spent a lot on them, I would just use a towel, and wipe down them if they are wet with paint, because then they wont shoot the best, they will just fly all over. ------------- [IMG]http://i27.tinypic.com/1538fbc.jpg"> Squeeze Box ☣ |

the feild i work for has a policy of checking every bag in the case for visible broken paint and send bags with broken balls back to National Paintball Supply... just our little effort at quality control
the worst bag of paint i ever got was down at Oklahoma d-day i swear to god there must have been 30 breaks per bag... which oddly enough... was from NPS ------------- GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!! |

| The one time I ordered paint online, Draxxus Blaze from 888paintball.com, I had no breaks in any of the bags. They shipped the case inside a larger box packed with foam packing peanuts and marked the box as fragile, this end up, all that good stuff. When I buy paint at a store, even whenI stoop to buying at Wal-Mart, I check for broken balls and won't buy a bag with broken balls in it. They never seem to fly right even if you wipe them off. |

You will almost always have at least one broken ball in a case of paint. Never fails for me. Every case I've bought has had at least one broken ball. ------------- AKA Excalibur Crossfire 68/4000 Halo B |
