Title: repainted decoys
Post by: nalley112 on June 25, 2012, 01:14:05 PM: I repainted some of my goose decoys this last week and was some input of how they looked.. be completely honest.. these are flambeau floaters that were black..they just didn't look that good.. I used khaki, brown and black on some of them. I haven't added any clear coat or anything yet.

Then i uaed some brown rustoleum spray paint and held the decoy straight up and down so it wouldn't cover the grooves and it would leave a feather like for looked. I all matter finishes so there's no shine.. for the clear coat I'm going to use a matter clear just one or two coats..
