Ok, I have about 70 bucks lying around. I have a Spyder Compact 2 in 1 Java. I want either:

J&J Ceramic Barrel
Smart Parts All American (if not too expensive)
Custom Products
Dye Xcel

I don't want to spend too much on a barrel and want the one that is the most accurate and I don't want to spend $100 on a Boomstick. Could you help me? I also want one that is pretty easy to clean. What size do you recommend? 14" or 12"?

The other thing I want to know is PAINT! I have decided either:

Diablo Blaze
Diablo Midnight
PMI Premium
Direct Hit
Zap

I don't want to spend too much on paint also- maybe $50. I want paint that will match the bore size for my gun and barrel and a paint that is good and won't break. I don't want Marbalizers. ****NOTE**** My gun is NOT low pressure and I hear that some of the paint I listed is only good for low pressure guns, but am not sure.

Please answer:
What barrel is the best of the ones listed above?
14" or 12" barrel for a newbie?
What paint is the best for a Spyder Compact 2 in 1 Java?
Are there any other kinds of paint or another barrel that is better?

THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS :)

J&J Ceramic Barrel with proball, powerball, or steel is what I use.

well if you don't want to spend a lot of money then go for the J&J. It's a cheap barrel that performs pretty good for the price. I have an All-American, and if you want that one, you might have to spend a little more then $70

I couldn't tell you. I've never used any of those paints.

I have a CP Pro barrel system, and is the best barrel, for my ZAP!

For that price take the 1 piece CP barrel! Choose the best bore size to your paint!

I'd suggest a J&J their light quiet and accurate, their a small bored barrel so id suggest something like blaze or direct hit. Either will do fine and are both good paint for nice prices

I have a JJ, and for some reason, Inferno doesn't work well with it at all..it always breaks....Zap has a good paint/bore match, but it is not that great of quality..i know the paint isn't on there, but a good paint that will go with it, and not that expensive, is 32* Team Colors. The JJ Ceramic itself is a very good barrel.

I think that the Smart Parts AA go good with the Diablo blaze and there both really good products...
