Refreshing old decoys

[TomTom8302]

Had some time, got my hands on some new-to-me decoys and some paints. Decided to start freshening them up a bit. They still need a bit of work and some dead flat clear, but what do you guys think?

Those look awesome! I bought that brand of shovelers this year and those look just like the paint they put on in the factory.

Cool! Thank you, not bad for someone who’s partially color blind

Very nice. I'd be interested to know the exact color and brand of paint you used. I just bought a dozen mallard decoys from someone for $30, they could for sure use a freshening up.

Tbh, whatever matte colors Walmart had. Don’t get glossy. DO stop at HDepot or your local hardware store and pick up a couple cans of flat or dead flat clear. It will help protect the finish so you don’t have to touch them up as often.
