Dont get mad at Carl for speaking the truth. If you want good paint buy it from a proshop. |

That would be a start. I have never used any paint from Wal-Mart, I know they sometimes sell Marbs and other high quality paint, but I'm pretty sure that its all factory seconds. Your best bet is to probably order paint over the net from a trusted store. |

well the **edited**s by me sell marbalizers but, they havent been mentioned as that great anymore i know they used to be well known, but i dont know about now They also sell JT Flex masks which surprise me, considering their best gun prolly costs the same -------------

Wal Mart sells Big Balls sometimes which arent bad. I usually pick up the DBX practice paint from D.icks and it works fine. Most D.icks carry Marballizers.

Hahahah. Scorch is pretty good stuff, at least in Wal Mart terms. Super Swirl is good stuff too, but I don't know if they still sell that. Xball Bronze is only 39 a case from Action Village, and shipping is free if you buy more than 79 bucks worth of stuff. Very very good paint, better than anything at Walmart. |

| **edited**s sells some paint in a plastic crate/case thing. its not bad, but the fill dries up and gets waxy after a short period after busting. not bad for you, but a pain for people you play with. |

what kind of gun are you using, cuz if its a tippmann, you can use basically any paintball known to man. marbs arent that good anymore, i think evil is gettin up there

I like scorch when I used them because they had a bright fill and weren't easy to wipe. I would like to buy another box of them, but I have to save that money for field paint. Also the deal with the paint on actionvillage of $79 or more. The many times I have looked on their policy, paint is not included in the deal, but maybe if you buy $80 worth of other stuff. |

79 dollars worth of ANYTHING will let you get free shipping, paint included. I promise you. Tomorrow I'm getting four cases (yeah, I'm a pimp) and it'll come with free shipping. But i'll upgrade to the uber-jeet fast 5 dollar express plan, and I'll have my paint by Friday. Super good deal. |

| ^^^ My brother and I picked up four cases of montser balls along with a chrono and 2 jerseys. But I take it that monsters are some really bad balls then? I did some research on pbreview and found that they should be some ok paint. But now I hear that they are some poor quality paint? I cracked open a case to check em out and they seemed fine to me. Didn't test any since we are going to be using them for a big group event that we are hosting here. Can you provide me with some bad qualitys about the paint or experiences you've had with it? |

ugh... wally world paint... they have no sense of rotating stock, you don't know how long that paint has been sitting on the shelf, or on a back shelf. the shells are usually thick, the fill is usually thin, you get more bounces than one of those inflatable bouncy castles they make for little kids. |
