I fill these up with 8oz of paint and 65psi of air. I use a smaller BB than normal. I want you to be happy with my product. As with all paint grenades,the paint does settle. This is the reason why many companies use black tubing. If a customer saw how the paint settles while sitting on the shelves,they would loose sales.
This is the reason I use Amber tubing. I want the customer to see the settled paint. That way when they shake it up, they can see the even mix. I NO LONGER MAKE THE WASHER VERSION. However the instructions will be left up. If you scroll down to the yellow paint grenade,the instructions for the newest version are loacted there. Always shake paint grenades prior to play. This will mix up any paint that has settled.
A few people have asked how to set the trigger on my grenades. So here are the instructions for all to see and use. Always wear goggels when use any paintball product.:
First shake up the grenade prior to play:
This will mix up your paint prior to playing. The running around you do during the game will keep the mix constant.
Prepare to pull pin:
Squeeze around the neck as shown. This is only a guide. Personal style comes into play when you feel comfortable using these.
Set Trigger:
Lightly Squeeze around cotter pin as shown. This will bring the wash down to a set point. Remember you are not pulling the washer down, but rather pushing it with your finger tips
Pull Pin:
While still pinching Goose neck, pull pin.
Trigger is set:
This is how it should look. Not to far down or to high up. To high up,and it will set off when thrown. To low and you will lock the washer in place. This is why I chose the washer size I did,to obtain 100% detonation.
Ready to throw:
You can throw this over hand,lob or just drop from a high point. The picture is just a reference for the player.
Please email or PM me with any questions that you may have.

here is my recipie for my Grenade mix:
1 cup "clean color" neon paint(I prefer Neon Yellow or Neon Pink)
4 cups of warm water
1/2 cup of "THICK IT" liquid thickner. It can be bought at almost any drug store. More then likley it's behind the counter.
Then Blend it for about 30 secs.
NOTE:Blender and warm water is a big part in the mixture,if not you will get lumps. Put thickner in last and then blend.
This will give you about 40 oz of a very thick fill. You can cut it to your liking or make it thicker. I have found that these two colors and paint work the best. I'm sure this will make alot of you very happy in your nade ventures.
Later,
