Since receiving my a-1, I love it, and haven't had to many problems other then ramping, but sounds like alot of other people are as well. My question is I seem to go thru a lot of paint, and usually I get my paint from a local store. I notice that it is cheaper to order it online though, and was wondering if you guys out there order your paint online or pick it up from a local store. I havent ever ordered paint online and dont want to from a site I dont really know, dont want to get any bad paint. If some of you guys out there do order paint online, what site would you recommed?

Actionvillage.com gives you free shipping on purchases over 70 bucks and they have pretty fresh paint. Make sure your local field lets you buy online paint though or else you're going to be SOL. Also if its only slightly cheaper online you may want to continue to buy from the local store just to support

the two main fields here in socal (jungle island/ SC village) allow you to bring your own paint, but anyways on your question with online paint, I always buy from the store because the paint is nice and fresh, make sure you deal with a reputable company when buying paint online, but even if you do the paint probably wont be as fresh as buying it from your local store.

and if you got paint break in a bag you loose 25% of the box...so you dont save any money. If you have paint break in the store box you can change it.

My field is FPO, but it's Chronic at $55 a case, so it's not too bad.
Ordering online: Actionvillage always has had great service, and I've ordered three cases in two separate orders. XBall Gold is great paint.
I also forgot to mention that I haven't had any broken balls in those 3 cases.

55$ a case for chronic is way too much...
I would go with above advise and not order paint online...your chance of having broken paint in the box is very very high.
