I only have good things to say about premium. I always order it from Actionvillage.com and only once did I have any broke in the box (maybe I am just lucky lol). Very rarely will there be any dimpled, and, in contrast to what others are saying, I have been able to store Premium for like 6 months or longer and still keep it good and dimple free. Of course I store it in a place where temperature stays constant and there is little humidity.

Also, Premium breaks well on target, not as good as other more expensive paintballs, but well enough for the price. Basically, you get what you pay for, but for rec play, they work fine. Also, they are like .688 or something, so they will fit most standard stock barrels pretty well (good for people with spyders tippys etc.) and the colors are very diverse and all have good thick, bright fill that stands out well.

Overall, decent paint for the price - breaks well, usually not dimpled, brittle enough, and generally consistent.

My absolute favorite paint, both in terms of price and performance.
I usually find this at my local pro-shop for $42.00 a case.
So far I have shot about 2-3 cases of this stuff and I am absolutely amazed.
Shell: The shell isn't as brittle as the one found on Marbz, however it is brittle enough to break 8/10 times, at least.
Fill: My favorite thing about the paint. It has a nice fill that seems very difficult to wipe. On top of that, the fill goes from a thick fill to more of a dry powdery one.
Price: $42.00? Unbeatable!

Thoughts: If you haven't already, please do yourself a favor and try this out!

RPS Premium has been great paint to shoot since day 1.

Round
Breaks on target
Good Fill
I am surprised where I still get this paint. I actually get this paint at Sport Chalet. It's surprisingly cheaper than stores online (usually $55). One thing about getting the paint there is finding the date stamp on the boxes. Given the label is not on all the boxes, finding the the date stamp can at least tell me how old the paint is. I recently took a chance on buying some Premium that was discounted ($40) at the store. Luckily there was a date stamp and it was 05/25/09. I checked the case before buying it and there were no broken balls or any that were out of round. I shot the paint the following weekend and it was ball on ball.

I shoot RPS Premium with a .689 barrel and have no issues.

If you're looking for paint to shoot, look into RPS Premium.

- A decent medium size caliber bore PMI Premium paint has great accuracy and performance for a wide range of markers. My favorite things about this paint is it's nearly seamless consistency and the very small variance in ball bore/diameter. The paint comes in a pretty big variety of colors both shell and fill.

Overall this is excellent paint for the casual to semi-consistent player.

Pros: See below
Cons: See below
Pros:

Very thick fill- The fill on RPS Premium is very thick. Not as thick as Evil, but very comparable. It is VERY hard to wipe. When I was cleaning hits off myself after the game, the paint stained my hand for a few days.

Bright fill- The fill is very bright so it is easy for refs to see.

Brittleness- This paint is not as brittle as Evil, but in my opinion it is brittle enough to be considered tournament paint.

Cons:

I honestly can't think of any weakness for this paint. When I used it, it worked great.

Conclusion:

Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this paint. We just got done using this paint at a tournament, and it was INCREDIBLE. Had a very thick, bright, visible fill that was impossible to wipe.

Pretty nice paint.

Appearance: Was it supposed to look different from any other paintball? Or did you think it would like a torpedo?

Performance: Paint, breaks and occasionally has some dents but it's great paint.

Reliability: Like any other paint, won't last forever.

Value: You get what you pay for.

2000 rounds costs about $80 where I live.

This paint is one of my favorites for woodsballing. Thick shell enough to sustain shooting with co2, still marking well on impact. Sometimes not too tough to fly through some thin bushes as other mil paint but whatever. Used to be the best performing paint for the money, now they incerased it a bit, but still fine.
Downside is that it is a bit picky on storage, I always have to make sure to turn bags from time to time, deforms very easy after short period. Therefore itīs a bit of a lottery to get the paint from e-shop, always better to buy locally when possible and check the bags. If everything is ok, you got excellent paint for the price!

I've used this paint enough to give a review about it. The paint all around isn't too bad, but you can find better paint for the price. All was all fine and dandy until Winter time came around. It breaks in barrels like no other paint. The only bad thing about the fill is that now it is pink and will stain if not washed immediatly. I'd rather buy all-star if I wanted something good. But your always better off buying white box, especially if it's fresh.

In the summer months I find premium to be excellent to use ~ excellent shooting, doesn't break in barrel/hopper, no dimples when fresh. If it starts getting below 60 degrees premium quality goes in the tank. Long term stoarge of premium is also horrible as within a week of storage it will dimple bad and become very very brittle.

In the summer months I'd give Premium a 7.5/10. Any other time I'd give it a 4/10.
