How long does paint last?

[Jmmsbnd007]

I'm going to buy a case of 2000 marbs soon, I want to know the maximum time I can safely not use them and still have good paintballs. Thanks.

I say 3 months maybe. You know when they're old when you can see dry paint inside. But 4 months is the max I think. Also think about how long they've been in the store.

[Sked Finger]

I just read. The shelf life of paintballs are 1 year.

[splatterpunx]

depends on how well you store them,ive shot 9 month old pmi that shot perfectly

[Sked Finger]

Keep them In a cold dry place.

sorry sked but NO! not cold! mild temp's cold will make them brittle. 60-70 degree's is genrally right

Its heated, it just gets cold at night. Califorina is having that Engry Crisis so it cost a lot to run the heater high all night.

yea i know i live about 30 minutes from you but its still not 40 degree's in your house?

[Sked Finger]

Your right its not that cold. Where in CA you live?

If your balls are getting cold at night, keep them in your bed under the blankets. If you do this, they should stay warm and you will know that you are a bit touched in the head.

I keep them in bed with me. j/k I just keep them on the floor and they're all good still.

I had paintballs in a cool dry place and thay lasted about 2 weeks. The ones i stored in my freezer lasted 2 years when i shot them at the field everyone hated me. Please tell me why? Since freezing them didnt work to well with other players for some reason (no idea why) I tryed heating them so i put my box near my furnace and turned the heat up to about 90. When i looked at them 2 weeks later they werent balls anymore just a soggy box and a mess to clean! What temp should i keep them at? ami not heatin em or not freezing them enough? should i try 100* or 10*?:crazy:
