I've been thinking about getting an Apex also and I have heard that certain types off paint works well with the barrel and others do not. So my questions is what types of paint are good to use with the barrel that won't break the bank. And if paint does break in the barrel is it hard to clean out.

The Apex is very unforgiving with broken paint but you just turn it off until you can clean it and it shoots fine you just can use the ramping. i have shot any and every paint out of my apex and they all seem the same to me i prefer Draxxus rec sport though largly because of its high visibility orange shell its easy to falow the ball if you need to reajust on longer shots. But far as i can tell all paint works good havnt found any that didnt.

I had one person tell me that Marballizers were good also. But that paint not cheap almost $50 a case. So if you shoot through the paint on the Apex does the ball come out all squirley like when paint breaks in the stock barrel. And is it easy to clean the Apex barrel, and can you clean it like a regular barrel?

Marbalizers...at $50 a case....Where did you see that. I use to pay over $85 for a case years ago.

Marballizers on Amazon for $60+ for a case of 2000. Cheapest I have seen it is $64 for a case. So I was a bit off. It's still all a bit pricey to me. I have to say the Fluid Monsoon paint was not bad to fire in my MR1 or MR2. Nice thick paint, though had two near the end of barrel breaks out of say 100+ balls. ActionVillage sells a case for about $50. But I digress back to topic.

not as bad, if your not using the ramping, the ramping dont work worth a darn after you break paint until you clean it. Its not that hard to clean the Apex run a squegie through it then a battle swab to clean the paddel good. At the end of the game run hot water through the barrrel and apex tip and you good to go.
