I'm in the process of flocking the heads of my mallards and Honkers i think this is better than anything else. I also plan on painting the UV white paint on my ducks and geese but have not found where i can pick it up. I have checked the sports stores near me. I know Parker paint makes the product i'm interested in.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

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.

That turned out looking pretty good. Any idea how durable that paint is?
