The transparent colors dont work for me, but the opaque seem to work about the same. Have black, matte white and od green that all work
You could contact the manufacturer and find out what type of plastic they are made of
The Black BB's actually weigh more.
My wife gave me a gallon of red she picked up at a garage sale for $2 and I have tried them. They work as a cushion, but not as well for boosting the static charge.
If you are going to pay full price I wouldn't buy anything but the black.
Not ALL black ASBB's work :(. IF yours works, please post the brand and model.
Mine were sold as "Crossman" Brand and they are heaver than the colored.
I'm also using Crossman Black BB's that I got at Wall Mart with complete success.Quote:

I use the yellow/black labeled maximum precision bbs as well.
Just picked up another tub of ASBB with the yellow/black label today for $7.00 at Wal-mart on clearance.Quote:

I've been using the multi colored pony beads that you can get in the craft section of WalMart seem to work very well for all colors I've used them with that coat well to begin with.

I get the best use of the black air soft BB's when I clear coat.

Thanks. I may have to give that a try.
My Wife bought me a container of "COLT" brand Green BB's. Haven't tried them yet as it's supposed to Rain today/tonight and the humidity is high.
Let ya know when it dries out.
But by then I hope to be casting with my new N.O.E. .45 SWC 5cav mold. So it may take a few more days to PC with the Green BB's. I think I'll try them with Smoke J.D. Green.
I recently got these from Wallyworld for $7 each These work.

I tried the green ones. They were no bueno. I had to coat so many times just to get anything decent. Tried the black ones and they're phenomenal.
