If you want some cheap paint that works in flatlines, I hear Zaps work just fine. |

| Zap is some seriously cheap paint, and from my experiance it shoots like seriously cheap paint. RPS all the way. |

| People think that a flatline is a lot more picky on paint than it really is. You don't have to buy an $80 case of paint for it to work in the flatline. Anything with small or medium bore, no dimples, will work just fine in a flatline. |

Yeah, try using Zap. ------------- I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.

| ya you just need a paint a little smaller so that way it has room to go around in the barrel to create the backspin, I can't really point out a really good paint because they all shoot different and usually you can adapt to it by watching where it shoots if it doesn't go wild, but I haven't had any paint yet that has gone crazy and shoot every which way. If it does though you probably just need to change your volcity to probably lower. |

Until it breaks in the barrel and ruins that round for you. |

Have you read the instructions that come with the barrel? On the Flatline the bore diameter is not relative to the size paint needed for correct performance(sort of). Flatlines take small to small-medium paint, so that the ball can roll on the top curve of the barrel, develop the backspin necessary to fly a level trajectory across the field. Any reasonably good quality paint that is .687" or smaller may work well. I find Diablo Heat works well in my Flatline.
