manually calling paint

paint(getGraphics());

From what I know, paint() is a callback, and should only be called directly by the system (not that it really makes a difference), you should just call the repaint() method.

repaint didn't work for some reason.

calling paint() did it, sort of. now i overrode the paint() function itself so no more flickering :)
