Great paint that can be found at resonable prices. Scare the cr@p out of people when you shot at them w/ these really bright shells. Fifty word minimums are g@y........ummm....ummmm....uuummmmmm...umm...umumumumumu...

| Review: |
Awsome paint. I recomend this paint to any one looking for a paint thats cheaper than Blaze but shoots just as good. I broke two balls out of one case of paint. This is probably my favorite paint now because its cheap and you can find it at Wally World (Wal-Mart). This paint works well in my friends and my spyder. But I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Go and buy this paint now!!!! Its Awsome. |

|
| Review: |
I have tried mainly paint that can be purchased at Wal-mart and the like, and I can't see where there is a problem with buying paint there myself. In the All-American barrel the Sun Flare is more accurate, but the Super swirls shoot better in the Ice Cold barrel. You need to try different paint to find your best bet as well. Love the bright fill. Easy break on target. I have shot 1000 of these and no barrel breaks, which you rarely ever have in a Tippmann anyway regardless of brand, had a couple guys remark about who is shooting this orange paint, really leaves a bright , thick spot. I am a PMI person by choice but these have my attention right now, great ball. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I don't think you can go wrong with these. Try them in your barrel and see what they do. Find them at Wal mart, relatively inexpensive ( $28 bucks/ 1000). Bright fill, easy break on impact. Looks like my ball for awhile, unless I find something better, which would be hard to do. Give them a 9 because they aren't perfect, but pretty close for a paintball. |

| Review: |
Used up a case on a weekend game, 1000 rounds, $27@wal mart, no breaks or chops. Accurate and performed quite well considering the expectations I had for it. Shell was not slimy/oily and they were in great shape out of the box, few friends of mine have decided to use it when lacking other paint (they usually use big ball) as they were impressed by its unexpected performance themselves, worth giving a try at a minimum. I have the stealth barrel which is small bore, and these went off without a hitch.
these ARE 32* competitive edge branded differently. |
|
| Conclusion: |
they work, theyre available, price to performance theyre reasonably cheap, and nifty design. |

| Review: |
I must say I absolutely love this paint. Sun Flare is the best quality paint for the price, and can be found at nearly every Walmart. These balls fly true and I have not had very many breaks with these balls, mainly due to their strong shell. I can go full auto, with a VL200 mind you, and not break a single ball. I only thing that I really don't like about Sun Flare is that there is only one fill choice however, what really matters is performance and Sun flare out performs all others in its class. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Whether you are low on cash or just looking for a quality rec ball, Sun Flare is for you. Both high and low-end guns perform just fine with this paint, and I recommend it to anyone who wants quality paint at an affordable price. |

| Review: |
They're not a bad paintball overall. Eyes can pick them up easily and with a good paint to bore match, they fly better than the Premiums. They do bounce off clothing more often then they should. I picked up a box of 1000 for $22ish at Ganders. I believe Sports Authority also carries this product. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good price, good accuracy, but don't always break. |

| Review: |
They look cool, the fill is a bright orange, and out of 1500 of them haven't had a single broken one. These things are extremely hard though. Every time I shoot a person with these they do not splatter. I can shoot a tree, brick, ect. and the will usually break. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would only recommend these for target practice or if you are a masochist. |

| Review: |
Getting 500 of these balls as a alternative because it was the only paint availible at the time was the best "aww they dont have marbs" time I ever said it.
I used these in a 98c stock barrel for about 500 shots with 1 break (my fault did not have barrel on properly) made me buy more for next weekend.
After buying a flatline for woodsballing with my friends I took some more sun flare to the field, the first 50 balls to go through the Flatline was some POS PMI paintballs what were a very bad quality but after loading a hopper full of 200 sun flares I was ready for my match, The balls shoot true and far with a flatline for over 700 balls before my first break. As for the Bright orange filling It was clear that 3 out of 5 people were taken out in 2 rounds. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Over all this is a very high quality paint for its price and I would recomend to anyone with any barrel. |

| Review: |
for the price you can't beat it. This is what i'm going to start to shoot. It the fill is some of the best i have seen, it would be very hard to wipe. I had i think one break only because i had some cheaper paint mixed in which broke first which caused the flare to break. I also thought that they were very accurate. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would recommend this paint to enyone that plays the sport of paintball. You can find it at most walmarts at a reasonable price. |

| Review: |
Well i was strolling through Wally World and i saw a 1000 count of Draxxus Sun Flare's on sale for 19.95. I have X-mas money to burn so i thought why not. Well im not dissapointed. I've played with these for a couple weeks now and these are my official rec. ball ! I love these. The first thing that catches your eye is the killer shell design,topped only by the Slam Ball and El Tigre. When you actually play with these bad boys you'll notice they fly great. But let me mention that the shells aren't REALLY hard,they're just uhh..."Firm". I mean they don't send you crying out in pain when your hit or anything the shell is just a tad hard. Now all of the balls i shot broke fine on my target,and only 2 out of 1000 chopped,the fill is bright too,making cheating more difficult. As mentioned above if you have a ANY Rebel marker i would not but this paint unless you have a barrel kit, my friend(Who has a Rebel) had a hellish time trying get these things to stay in his barrel. Other than the small bore size these are GREAT rec/tourney balls. STOP READING,GO BUY!! |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great all round ball
(Would give it 9.5 but theres no option) |
