My personal way of cleaning oiley/painty paint is to use a larger flat carboard box lined with paper towels, and using a cotton tshirt works a lot better to absorb the oil/paint. then put the balls into sealed ziploc bags for storage.
Holy crap Ryan thank you for this! we use field paint during practice and the paint is pretty trash soooo you just saved me and the boys a good amount of $$$$$
Great video! One other technique I've used is an old towel on the floor, then dump the bag out onto it, then lay another towel over the top and roll it around a little bit. Works every time!
Learned a ton from this video in just a few minutes! Thanks Ryan. Btw I noticed your cleats on the table. Hopefully there is a video on the best cleats
I just put down double or more layered paper towels, put them on it and get another set of double or more layered, then rub them around in circles; works great and fast
Dry your paint off, but also double check your barrel back/insert size. You like to have a slight overbore. If your paint is sticking in the bore, it will cause it to curve on exiting because it changes the shape of the ball, or puts a spin on it.
Question: Can super oily/sweaty paintballs end up ruining your equipment? My Virtue Spire and LV1 both are not working and noticed excessive oil buildup. My hopper had a pool of oil in it. My eyes were soaked in oil and eyes were not reading because of it. Now after I cleaned it nothing is working like it did before I put about half a case through it. Using GI sports paint from local field cost me $85 a case!
What actually happens when you decide to shoot the balls regardless of access oil? Between the 2 brands(one is no name?), One is completely dry while the other is just barely oiled, I figured it was to help the feeding process stay smooth? Yes I'm new, but not into gaming. More for plinking in my backyard.
When you play with oily paint, nothing bad should happen. However, the paint won't be as accurate as it could be. Not just that, the oily paint leaves a residue in your pods, hopper, feedneck, breach and barrel. That means even clean paint shot next will be less accurate.
@@pbnation LOL I remeber shooting silicon spray down our barrels so that our first few shots would be well over the legal 300FPS during tournament play, back in the day.
Ryan I love you bro but damn you couldn't drive to any local store to grab a micro fiber for an 8 minute video about cleaning paint? Grab some kind bars while your there?

“Sorry valkan” 😂😂
I thought he was bullshitting until he showed the bag. That's actually really rough lol
Not only is it a great tip but also a great way to take a subtle shot at a competing paint brand. Well played Ryan.

Nice, thanks for the tip Ryan!

You should!
Why am I watching this? I dont even play paintball
You should start
Skating and paintball pros : i get u broke im broke we all broke
Wish this was out a week ago I threw out 2 bags (cheap paint anyways but still would’ve been nice to shoot) lesson learned 🙃

All this good help on cleaning the paintballs and nothing covering to clean the barrel.

Any tips for humid days? My CS2 was chopping and shooting curve balls and realized the paint was really sweating inside the hopper/pods.

Sounds like YOU don’t know how to clean YOUR marker
Do you need oil on them or should they be dry
Should you mix the balls in the bag first before opening, or just open the bag?
ive found that lower grade paint usually works better out of the bag than the field paint we are forced to use on my field
Dump oily paintballs into towel, roll paintballs in towel for several minutes, dump dried paintballs into fresh bags, repeat if necessary.
That's what I do lol.
good video ryan gotta help out the new players! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
OR, maybe the paint companies could go back to the way that didn't suck?
Too many players and fields want cheaper paintballs. That means we have to deal with some less than top shelf paint.
@@pbnation The paint I buy isn't cheaper and they quality has gone way down while prices went UP. The last 2 years of Field Paint Only has SUCKED
Some Fields just have crap paint constantly. Others always get weekly fresh paint my p
@@jamescoyle3687 The fields I'm talking about didn't usually have crap paint. It didn't happen until after GI bought Empire.
Yeah we have the marsballer empire paint at our field and every barrel is lined with chopped paint. $90 a fucking case.
Hi love ur vids
We love Ryan's videos too.

Oil on paintballs will decrease your accuracy. The dryer the paintballs the better the accuracy
How do you determine the age of your case of paintballs? Say HK paint?

Just thro them in the dishwasher or washing machine 😎
The last monday I played with too many oily pods and nothing bad hapened

Those would probably bounce off of a mask hahaha
Use a pillow case
That's literally what our paint looks like every time we open a box in Australia. We spend half a day of training cleaning out paint...
@thistubeisfucked Must be before my time.
