Review:
I bought this paint for my first time a few days ago. i was used to crappy quality paint from wal mart so i was hoping this would be a step up. Well, for the price, it was...
I picked up a case of 2000 for 59$ Canadian. Now that is very cheap, considering a lot of the lower quality paint I buy is roughly that price. Once I had purchased them, the store owner even opened the box and checked to make sure there was no broken paint. That definitely is very good customer service!!!
Anyways, I brought them home and aired up my Mini right away. I found as I opened the box 4 neat little compartments, where all balls were packed into bags of 500. All were in good shape, no dimples, or breaks which is good. I believe that the paint is most often fresh then when they come in.
When I loaded them into my gun, they were kind of interesting looking. I got a case with a blue and brown coloured shell which isn't the nicest but I can't complain. The paint shot straight and true, and I had no ball breaks which is awesome!!!
My only complaint is that there were a decent amount of bounces. Also the paint filling I got was a white, with a bit of a pink tinge to it. It was terrible. If you were to use this in a game, it would be so easy to wipe and it would barely show up.
Conclusion:
Very good paint for the price. This is quality stuff and the box i bought was even certified as an eco friendly fill. It doesn't have dimples on them and they come packaged well with many different coloured shells and fill. Make sure to pick up some paint colour other than white though. I recommend this to anyone looking for a practice paint or woodsball.
Won't break in marker, decent fill and reasonable accuracy.
Weaknesses:
Inconsistent size and shape (not round), dimples, etc.
Review:
I can't really recommend this paint compared to some of the other paints in this price range. It's certainly not the worst paint out there but it's not what I'd consider a top tier paint in its price range either. Packaging itself was good.
The bore size was somewhat irregular and on the very small side. .682 was the best match I could get. But the balls just weren't round and consistent enough.
The paint shot okay. It seems like this paint is just one step above practice grade. There isn't really any quality there, it's average in most respects.
Conclusion:
I would only buy this paint: 1) If you don't need quality and it's cheaper than others in its price range, or 2) if this is the only paint available in its range.

Recommended Barrels:
Freak
Strengths:
Cheap, consistant round ball.
Weaknesses:
Fill, poor yellow fill.
Review:
Used these balls for the first time yesterday. Nice round ball with smooth seams. No dimples, quite accurate using a freak barrel.
No breaks, the fill was a very light yellow making hits difficult to see. The balls i used were a dark bronze colour which again made seeing the balls in flight hards (suppose this was also a problem for those i was firing at).
Conclusion:
All in all a decent ball, i would use again but hopefully get a differant shell colour.
Tippman 98 Custome with 32 degrees 14'' Whisper barrel, and some senario upgrades.
Recommended Barrels:
My whisper barrel works well, and the stock barrel, I want to find out if my new flatline will shoot it well.
Strengths:
Reasonably priced
Shoots well
Weaknesses:
Can be dimpled
Review:
This is the paint sold at Big Pear Paintball, and the step up from the white box crap they sell you at Paintetd Forest. It is good paint and even though it may occationaly have a dimple in it, it shoots fine and I have had no unusual problems with it
Conclusion:
Go a step up and use this paint. It is worth it to have good paint
