Midnight FTW! I was thinking about buying those.

[BunkerBoys]

Diablo heat isn't all bad. I use it at practices. Hellfire and xball gold FTW!

[DirtyBirdy51]

anyone could recommend paint. just the same, any paint could work well with any barrel, all you have to do is match your paint caliber to your barrel bore. like with my .693 stiffi, i could use any paint of any size upto .693. i could go really cheap and use VL heavymetal, or i could buy something better like x-ball bronze, silver, or gold. this thread fails. not to mention, theres probably already something on this in the sticky.

[SpecOpsBalla]

ok yes any paint could work with any barrel but its a matter of wether the paint works WELL with the barrel.

I would Appreciate it if you would stop spamming. I also already explained the sticky situation in my second post:

Just curious...you'd 'highly recommend' heat and not hellfire? And Premiums over Marbs?

[SpecOpsBalla]

o i meant to put Marbs and hells in red my computer is messed up ill change that in red ill change that

i also meant to put proto darts in red

[nick_reith]

Also add zap chonic in both of those. Its around a .690-91 but its shoots nicely out of just about anything. And I prefer to have a slightly tighter fit than most.

[DirtyBirdy51]

its a matter of wether the paint works WELL with the barrel.


any paint can work 'well' with any barrel. what makes paint better is the caliber and quality of said paint. so why dont instead of making random suggestions on paint, just suggest the higher grade paints such as marb's, xball, etc. this thread still fails.

[new storm]

This must be just for people buying online paint? If your at a shop buying paint, check the size to the barrel, if it fits use it. If the paint rolls out or is too small for the barrel, ready for this... USE IT ANYWAY THERE ISNT A FREAKIN DIFFERENCE!!! Paint to bore match is so overrated. You want accuracy? Get the roundest paint, and +/- 2 or less chrono readings.

[Engine of End]

I have been wanting to know what caliber All-Star paintballs are.

[SpecOpsBalla]

RPS All-Stars are .682-.685

[Engine of End]

RPS All-Stars are .682-.685Geez, I didn't think they were that small.

[fake ninja]

Or monsters since I am looking for some cheap practice paint???

[SpecOpsBalla]

.686-.689 for premiums

monster balls are like .688-.691 or something around there.

[DM5GUY]

I think someone wants a sticky.

[eatmybob67]

my freind has a jt protium im not sure the bore size but if any one had any experance with the stock jt barels, what is the best ball to match its bore size.

[DirtyBirdy51]

[DM5GUY]
