it also depends on the gun. I would never put 100$ paint in a non lvl 10 mag. it would be a blender

I have never paid $100 for a case of paint around my area. Most expensive I've paid is $65 for a case of Evil or Marbs.

well big ball is more or less intermedit, the point is not spasficly to chose a typ of paint it is to see if people would prefer to use more expensive paint over cheeper yet decant paint

(never buy paint at sportmart or big 5 the over charge and they miss treat the paint)

I shoot pumps, so I would prefer to shoot better paint and have it break than save a buck or two. Also, I have paid as much as $230 a case for paint. Of course I travel the world playing.

Well.. I once over heard a comment when this question was asked in the local paintball shop.. The kid was holding a 2 - $3,000 setup and he was asking the tech if he should shoot cheap paint and the tech said, "You've got a $1,600 marker and your going to shoot cheap paint through it?"

I always shoot what "I" consider to be quality paint.

I shoot the best paint I can afford at the time. Now this may be white box or Marblizer. Depends on what is shooting good at the time and how much I've got in my wallet.

Not all the paint is the same, even with the same "name brand" there are many changes from batch to batch. One very well known paint has greatly decreased in quality, so now I'm looking for another good paint. Like Deep says though, I shoot a pump, so I don't mind spending $25 a bag or so, to make those shoots count. I've seen too many cheap paints bounce or wing off to the left for no apparent reason. I would love to see scenario producers offering 2 types of paint. Something cheap for the masses, and something with better quality for those willing to spend 10 or 20bucks more...
