hello to all...

was hoping for some input on how to keep your paint "fresh" during an all day event......was thinking about placing my paint in a cooler with ice in the botton and using some sort of frame or grill to keep the paint well the ice......

we dont have access to a refrigerator where we will be......

expected to be around 95 degrees with the humidity maxed out...


any input would be appreciated......

In my opinion, putting the paint in a cooler would be a bad idea. Cold weather seems to make paintballs more brittle, causing more ball-breaks inside the barrel, at least in my experience. If you leave them outside as opposed to in your car, they will be cooler and not melt as result of your car being, in essence, an oven in the summer heat. Storing them in some shade near the car has never given me problems in NC seeing as how it is very humid and hot :pissed:. Just remember to not have an open bag out in the elements for too long

Just keep them out of the sun and in the driest place possible. Extra moisture is the thing to avoid, not necessarily the heat. Placing them in a cooler will only make it worse.
