paintballs
not sure if this is righ tsection o rnot. long story short been out of paintball for about 3 years just started playing again 3 weeks ago.cant get high end paint anymore efor $30 at local field anymore all went up to $50. I play back burn paint fast. not trying to spend $150-$200 every week just in paint.
my question is is there any legit place I can order maybe 5-10 cases of paint for a reasonable price and get a good deal on some paint that is good. Im liking valken crusade may have it wrong its the pink/white color balls tournament grade that I been using. I used to get my paint from a site think it was orderpaintball but they shut down. trying to find a decent place that wont send me that garbage white box paint or paint all broken. with shore extreme closed up im trying to see if I can find something cheaper then $50 if I buy in bulk as invasion said they no longer offer deals like that.

Paint prices have increased because of inflation, like everything else. The cheapest low-grade case can be anywhere from around $40-$45. Mid-Grade to High end paint can go for $50-$60, and even on up.

Diablo heat wasn't very good paint...
Try talking to the field owner, some places sale the paint cheaper if only used in the speedball area. |

Valken offers quality paint at $35-40 a case from multiple online retailers.
APXGear sellins Agro pro for $38 a case and it's decent paint

I play at invasion. surprised to see some one say diablow heat was not that good considering in its day it was rated number 1 and the goto for everyone at invasion I know. same with mayland everyone in ocean city, and salsbury preferred it. before shore xtreme closed up and never reopened I used to get paint there and I used to get some good deals.

I've always liked Heat, and use it now for recball...but its definitely no where near the best. For every day play where you don't mind a bounce or two and not the brightest or thickest fill, its good. I wouldn't touch it for tournament play though.

APXGEAR.com is the best place to get paint hands down. They have 10 case orders available. Go with Agro Pro or Fyre.

like I said back in the day heat was the goto and everyone thought it was better then most I never once said it was the best. but most guns back then shot that better then what was out at the time that the fields carried. they don't carry every brand of paint but at th etime heat was the best carried in new jersey at the local shop before it closed up and the local field.

I've shot the Agro pro (got a good price on it). Good paint, nice thick fill and brittle...but found I got quite a bit of barrel breaks. |

I would personally have to say this is the best practice paint I have ever used. The shell is like evil with a very high accuracy and has about a low/mid fill. Breaks on sleeves like whoa.
