I ordered a case of PMI Premium paint about a week ago, and where I live it gets cold! and it has been 20-30 degrees lately. When I opened the case all the paint looked fine. But later on this evening I checked tham again and there where 5 broken paintballs in 1 bag and 2 in serperate ones.It was a mess. I had to clean them one-by-one with a cloth, and then placed them into a new bag. Some of them I also noticed had pieces of the outer shell peeling off. Is all of this from maybe getten frozen on the way to my house? And then sweled up cause of the warm room temp and humidity?? I would like to know if my paintballs will be usable and if there is anything I can do to keep them from getting anyworse !!! HELP!

Keep em at room temparature, and dry and they shouldnt get much worse. As for bein usuable, only one way to find out but my guess is you arent gonna be happy

Yeah, you wan't to protect paintballs from freezing at all costs. They do sell paintballs made especially for cold tempratures but they are spendy and I heard they aren't very good.

the "peeling shell" is just broken shell from the other balls

well i can honestly say wether doesnt affect diablo midnights. i put one in a shot glass and put it in my freezer for like 5 hours, then i got it out, and all that happened was the shell got cold. i dropped it out my 2 story window and it broke like normal

Polar Ice is ok. It's not something to go wacko about, but it is decent. I had a few breaks, but nothing to complain about. I used it a couple weeks ago at this outdoor field near my house.

Hey damn fool, if you don't know what to do with your 1500 balls, put them in baloons with some water. After, carry the baloons in pod during the game. It makes pretty good grenades.
