Ok after doing this, I found a little bit more out about this paint.
the dull look and dry feel is some type of liquid sprayed onto the paint to mak it that way, the orgianal shell is biodegratable(it disolved in my hands with water), and the fill is very think and doesn't come off your skin.
all though, the spray isn't to make the paintball smooth, from the looks of my case of advantage paint, all the seems are dipped down under the surface.
