Vampyr, Thanks, you are really helping me out. I live in the DFW area of Texas. Current weather conditions are around 40 - 50 during the days. I will look into Inferno and JT since those sound like good starters. Thanks again.

Polar? it is a cold weather specific. It's good to see that you are starting with quality paint though. : : If your going for pain, try California Magnum (Or as we call it, yellow painted rocks) Some of the powerball is nearly as tough. The kind of paint that you'd rather shoot at someone else than have them shoot it at you. May not be accurate, but wow that stuff hurts, and doesn't break in the hopper, barrel or on concrete surfaces. I think that is what I was getting bounces off a steel plate at 40 yrds. : : : In general I'm an RPS fan, but the diablo line is good stuff. Dale would be able to give a better suggestion for what *generally* works well with stock barrels from them. I think, inferno.. but I thought that was a very thin shell... It may work with a stock cocker, but works well with LP cockers. (Stock is realatively LP.) : : : : Vampyr, : : : : Thanks for responding. Would you recommend another paint that I should test out in the stock barrel, Diablo, Evil, Zap...? I understand that recommendations are opinions, so what one thinks is good might betricycle to another, but, being new to the sport I look forward to individuals input. Ultimatlely I will have to "see for myself" but a short cut with foresight will speed up the process. Thanks again. : : : : Dave : : : : . : : : : : : : : : Although arguably not the greatest paint on the planet, Marbalizer is a quality paint and should shoot decently from a stock barrel... Depending on temp and humidity of course, but should atleast fly regardless. : : : : : : All, : : : : : : I just purchased my first autococker and was wondering what paint to start out on. I am interested in getting to know the gun first, before any modifications. I am also interested in starting out with better that field paint. I am leaning towards Marballizer since I am already making a purchase from an online store that has 1/2 cases for $29.00. Figure I would try some before loading up on it. From what I can find the bore size to paint should be a good fit, assuming that the weather is not to cold. Any and all experience with the stock barrel to paint matching would be great. I will look into upgrading the bolt/barrel in the spring. Also I will be running HPA/N2 incase that makes a difference to the paint match. Thanks in advance for the help. : : : : : : Dave : : : : : : .
