How to find the right paint for your barrel

[FSU Paintball]

Many of the threads on this board have centered around, "What barrel should I get for this paint?," and "What paint should I buy for my barrel?."

Here's a site that will match up both for you. Try it out.

I've found that paint differs from batch to batch and area to area. I don't trust those charts anymore.

paint to barrel match is stupid. Ever notice that small bore barrels tend to be more expensive? Same forth for small bore paintballs? Conspiracy? They don't shoot further, more accurate, etc etc than something that has medium bore or large bore. Get a medium bore paintball barrel and use medium bore paint.. don't get conned into paying more for something that provides similar performance.

(ie. Dye Boomstick.. lol I saw this blowback LOL with a dye boomstick.. don't spend over $100 barrel for a cheapy blowback marker) Get a 32 degrees terminator/dye xcel/taso eliminator for your blowbacks.. save the money to upgrade your gun to something better.

hey tsr, in my opinion small bore paint is more accurate than medium and large. Think about it, I find marbalizer, proball, and diablo hellfire,(all small bore paints), to be more accurate than zap,nelson,and team colors,(all medium or large bore paints). just my 2 cents
