I see alot of people wanting to know the best place to get 'cheap paint'
-First of all, dont buy it online... they say if a ball is broke (which there will be) that they will replace it, but who really wants to wait around for another 2 weeks to get the paint?
-Second you usually get what you pay for (with some execptions)
very cheap paint will probably be inconsistant with size and have dimples (these suck very bad...) The best deal you will mostlikely get is if you go to your local store and Buy what they have....(dont trust the bore sizes on this site either, every batch is different[i know]) Personally I like big ball.. there like 50$ per case and very consistant.. but im sure its like that with alot of top quality paint, the best way to know what works for you the best is yo try it, all paint is diferent (texture, size, hardness, etc) so, either buy a case at a time and test them.(discard ones you had problems with)
Or, get 4 frineds with the same problem, buy 4 cases of paint, share a bag from each from eachother.. then you will know what works best w/ your gun
not all cheap paint is worthless... im sure you can find good-cheap paint at a local store for 40-50$ (over 60$ is too much)
but then again cheap paint isnt always good either... I rarely trust paint on sale... because its probably imperfect (know this from execperiance) So its all a game of luck (sorry) :)
In all.. dont buy online & dont trust barrel charts (to an extreme)
& try new paint..
