Review:
I bought this paint hearing it was good and since I always buy expensive paint, my friend and I used it today. That paint exploded in our guns, and got all over our bolts! The first round I was shooting and all the paint continued to break in my barrel and right outside my barrel also. I noticed a little bit later, that ALL the paint in all of the opened and unopened bags was dented and deformed. This paint does not shoot good at all. I also found out about an hour ago that rainbow paint is mixed with DraXxuS, Zap, and some other trash. It took about an hour, hour and a half to clean our guns and set everything back to normal. We had adjusted our guns thinking the cold was why they were cocky. Yes it was cold, BUT we had our paint in a warmer place.
Conclusion:
I'm going to say this again, DO NOT BUY THIS PAINT!!!!!! . This is just terrible paint from different boxes of stuff no one will buy. Read my review for the reasons why. You will be MUCH happier when you spend $10 more on good paint. I recommend Proto, or Evil, just trust me, I know.

Draxxus Rainbow paint is not seconds. First off if you know anything about production of paintballs you would know that when paintballs are bagged they set the machine for 540 instead of 500 just in case anything falls out of the bags. Anything over 500 are what these are, they are a mix of Draxxus and Xball paintball only! You just got a bad box from a company that dosnt know how to rotate paint as these are first run paintballs.
Caddyboy - Procaps originally claimed that Rainbow was not seconds, but they have changed the story since they released so many skids with high defect rates. They'll tell you now that it includes seconds and defects. I am willing to bet that vilepaintballer got a case from one of these skids and it is just as bad as he says it is. Procaps let everybody down with Rainbow and the way they handled it and they've lost business because of it.
Dispute: i have used this paint for over a year now, its the only kind i use and i have only had 1 ball chop the entire time, i think you might have stored the paint in too humid of a place and it got melted and deformed
