Repainting the decoys

[Russ81]

Since I'm not working this weekend and some of my dekes are close to 15 years old I figured a paint job was in order. I got a dozen pintail drakes that are my big spread enhancers getting redone so they're brighter and have more contrast.

I took a piece of 1/4" plywood and made 12 notches that fit the decoys. Then after washing them and setting them up the primer coat


I'm using truck bed liner since its a tough finish and sticks to plastic well. I was able to get 7 decoys out of a can

Had to move it inside, but I'm liking what I see

they are looking new again

[Muddy Bud]

Did you spray or brush them. If you sprayed howd it flow through your gun? Any problems? Those look great by the way.

[Russ81]

The base coat is bed liner in a can, then all the colors have been brushed or with a paint pen. I'm going to need a black paint pen or a sharpie for wing details after I paint the grey on.

Wow. Awesome work. Mine are only 5 years old but it's getting to be re-painting time!!

[Russ81]

Yea I'm probably going to touch up the bills on the hens and get dozen each of redheads and bluebills. I need more contrast for the coast.

I did this last year with 4 dzn mallards and turned them into Redheads. I like the attention to detail you have. They look good!
