Standard field paint is foredable, perfors well in moderate temperatures (60- 85 ° F / 15- 30 ° C), and is appropriable for woodsball fields with light to mediumbrush.

Proper Storage andHandling of Paintballs
Paint is a perishable product. Improper storage leads to swelling, flattening, brittle shells, and inconsistent fill. Follow these guidelines to protect your investment:
- Store paint in a cool, dry place - ideally between 55 ° F and 75 ° F (13 ° C- 24 ° C). Avoid direct sunlight andd areas with large temperatur swings.
- Keep paint in it original sealed bag or a dedicated airtist container. Once a bag is opened, use thee paint within three week. Vacuum sealing can extend shelf life for up to six months.
- Never story paint in a hot vehicle. A single afternoon in a car trunk at 90 ° F can an case to the point of swelling and performance degradation.
- Rotate your stock - use thee oldest paint first. Paint older than six months may have degraded gelatin even if stored correctly.
- If you mutt freeze paint for cold-weathers play, that aw it slowly in a lodrigator (not at room temperatur) to prevent condensation. Condensation weakens thee shell and can cause sudden failure in thee marker.
Safety and Regulative Consignations
Using thee correct paint is a matter of safety. The paint mudt conform to industry standards such as ASTM F1976 (Standard Test Method for Paintballs), which specifies shell emplth, toxity, and fill conpertities. Always choose paint that it s labelled as non-toxic and biodegraddable. Do not modify paintailballs - never refill shells or mix fill from difartht batches.
