im looking for the best place to buy paint online.
by 'best' i mean both price for paint and the care
taken in shipping, as shipping seems to be the
biggest concern; receiving broken paint sucks.

i live in the south san francisco bay area and the places
to buy paintball equipment are few and far between.
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

id recommend something in your area of california that way the paintballs have a lesser chance of being broken. also, never ship air. i did that once, good by $60 worth of all stars

www.firstcallpaintball.com would be where you want to go.......unlike almost any other online store, they guarantee their paint. If you get a case with broken paint just let them know and they ship out a new one.

i usually get it from big boys toys... www.bbtpaintball.com
they have good enough prices and ive never had any problems, cept when they ran out of the paint i wanted. They are based in cali, so it should be a fast ship.

try your local shop. you can always ensure you will recieve fresh paint and none of them are broken. the price may be higher, but the paint is fresh, you dont have to factor in shipping, and if you need it quick, you dont have to wait for the shipping

oh that sucks. I usually buy paint at my local store since they actually know how to care for it. In that case, just bye from a site in California such as BBT paintball. good luck

i live just north of san jose, the only field ive ever
played at is tag in santa cruze. i just got a new
gun so ive started looking for places closer to home
and in the southwest regional forum it sounds like
wap up north and sunol in the east bay are the
place to go.
