Enjoy!
I was a little partial to the circuit paint but the charge was HORRIBLE

companies who actually manufacture their own paint:

in no particular order

RP Scherer/PMI - RP. PMI, Marbs, Premium, Shrapnel, all star...
Accucaps - Zap, Proball, Archon...
ProCaps - Xball, Draxxus...
GelCaps West - GAP paints, dynasty paint
XO Industries - Menace, V1, Spectrum, Vein, Hot Box
Nelson - Special Forces, Chronic, Torq...
Severe - (not sure of company name in South America)
Pharmagel - most european brands - sterling
Brass Eagle - (bought a company called goldcaps) - worr, jt, vl, etc

and you'd all be surprised at who makes what for whom...

Fantastic Article!!!! Thumper, this one is a keeper. I'd say we need to link that one.

we (the little girls) try to play every other weekend just to train and keep our small unit combat skills sharp- when we play on our own we only shoot SCORCH, red shell pink fill and JT Tactical... they both are very consistent and fairly priced. if you have any type of eye you won't want the JT though. its a dark green shell. anyway- i'll shoot whatever thumper sells... the a5 is the ak47 of paintball markers. it never discriminates about what it sends thru the barrel.

Nooo, no dark colored paint...pleeeeeeeeease. My gun has eyes, and can't tell dark colors...which equals chopped paint...which equals me not having fun...so I'm hoping for some lighter colored paint. I shot some Draxxus Inferno today. And it shot AWESOME. I loved it, light colored and busts easily with very few bounces.

paint & HPA update

the compressor is rocking away at 4500psi.

I think one of the 2 4500 fill nipples is toast - and both 3K's are fine - but otherwise the hpa system is rocking!

the paint Im tickled with. Ive been shooting the whitebox draxxus the past few weeks and it still amazed me. I get a few bouncers typical of a field paint and long range shots, but she flys straight with very few flyers (maybe 2 out of 100). The draxxus whitebox is a nice .684 - No barrel breaks yet - both my sniper II and autockcocker love it - and I havent heard any complaints about paint in over a month.

paint update

it looks like we will have blaze, draxxus white box and hellfire or
xball bronze and gold (its the same thing)

the a few cases of hellfire will be reserved for the sniper's

I shot some midnight yesterday and it dint produce the results I was getting w/ the blaze.

The blaze is shooting and breaking well. It is a nice .684
The hellfire is supposed to be very impressive.
