Just starting out with my 10 year old. My local fields are field paint only. But i am looking for inexpensive paint for him to shootin the backyard only. I found this paint at walmar. Or are there any other suggestions

Do a quick google search for a local paintball shop. You may have one that you don't know about.


The issue with paint, specifically at Wally World - is that you don't know how long its been sitting, and how badly dimpled the balls are going to be. While test-firing and taking aggression out on a wooden post in the back yard doesn't require tournament paint...nobody likes cleaning out a barrel break from poor quality paint...every 3rd shot.

See if your field offers "airball only" paint. Its usually Valken Graffiti or RecSport or something of that quality. Its not great, but fields chew through pallets of the stuff, so the paint usually isn't 2-3 years old...collecting dust on a Wally World shelf.

Cheap +1 post for number 600..


Your paint shop may also have the same problems. Main things to look out for are dust settled on the case of paint, and dented/damaged/aged looking boxes. The condition of the box can speak worlds about the age of the paint inside.
