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.

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.

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.

Wal-mart paint is bad I buy mine from the local hardware store they sell guns too 98c and Black Maxx  but anyways they sell Draxxus White Box(2000) 34.95 and PMI RPS Premiums(1000) 18.50  and theres never any breaks but the White Box has liquidy fill and Premiums have quagulated-blood-like fill cept its other colors than blood

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
