ryan.yeo 0 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Hi there I want to know what paint to use on some old decoys? I've got some old mallard decoys, one drake & one hen, both feeding (ass in the air style!) Colours aren't an issue but I was wondering what is the best type of paint to use considering the abuse they will get? Any advice would be a great help Cheers guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KILLITnGRILLIT 0 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I use model paints such as humbrol and they last 5-10 years depending on (ab)use. My own personal thoughts are that colour doesn`t matter much, as most times duck only see shadows or silhouettes when coming in to decoys although the white of tail bars and rumps seem to be a tell tale sign and worth keeping bright. Another personal thing is that I have never had much luck with "duck bums" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
