I just finished painting a bunch of my decoys. 145 to be exact. A lot of them sea duck some mallards, teal, widgeons, pintail. Go to the website Takeem.com and go to there decoy section and there is a list of all the paint colors and videos on how to paint them. The color they give you for the mallard heads is a little darker then I would like but it's not to bad. I bought all my stuff at Home Depot and just bought the 3 dollar sample cans. And a few cans of matte clear coat.
