been getting this paint from compulsivepaintball and its rps paint, $120 for 4 boxes of 2,000 w/free shipping can't beat it and I haven't gotten a bag of paint with 1 broken ball yet.

Why is this in the o/t?

Anyway, thats RPS seconds it can be good paint but is fairly inconsistant. Spank, Basic Training or afew others that are the same price are much more consistant in size and better quality.

Yes, yes it is but its better than RPS seconds.

If you're looking for $30 a case paint Origin Basic Training is my preferance, but frankly spend alittle extra and get some good paint.

i played the last three weekends using four different type of paint and the only one i didint have any problems with was the rps whitebox!
and that was the cheapest paint. Maybe some paint handles better in the cold weather.

That really doesn't surprise me much. The seconds paint usually has a pretty thick shell on it so it preforms better in the cold. Bushido, Inkd, and Proball platinum all work well in the cold. Here soon alot of the cold weather paints like polar ice will be available and work very very well.

My mentality too, I don't use super expencive paint just to play recball but I do use a higher grade than most people around here(its less than $10 a case more then what most recballers shoot but they still don't seem to think its worth it) But yes, higher grade paint is worth the money. Plus you can shoot less of it so its actually cheaper.
