looking for cheap paint
Paint is expenisve. My exprienced friend tells me that using better paint makes a huge differecne and after comparing it i think so too. but it is very expensive to always buy it. Im talkign about the $40 for like 1000 and stuff around there. I have a beginners gun (piranha G2) so does anyone know a good type of paint that has a good balance between the price and the qualtity?

PMI Premium, Diablo Heat, and I think Nelson Hostspot works great but everyone else doesn't.

Depends on what you play. I play rec ball and use Wrek Elite from Paintbal Discounters. Its only $35 for a case (2000) rarely breaks on me. Also depends on what kind of gun, I use a Custom 98 so im not shooting full auto or anything.

Almost nobody uses full auto....You'll see a big difference in accuracy with a new barrel as well

Oh, forgot, PMI Rampage is pretty good too. Almost as good as premium, and a few bucks cheaper. However, I will usually shell out the extra $5 or so and go with Premium.
...Almost forgot, in winter, PMI Polar Ice works best IMO.

Zap Chronic is supposed to be pretty good, and Tork too I think. Everything else people don't seem to like, idk why. (never used Zap stuff myself).

Zap CrypticPro are the ones that I shot. They were pretty cheap and very good for me.

I shoot Anarchy and Diablo Dusk. I spend about 50 or 60 a case.
A bunch of buddies just buy cases of Core, which is practice/target paint and is old. But sometimes you can get it for 30 a case.

I wouldn't buy them by the case, yet, just find out what fits in your barrel, and shoots good, for now...
