Paddy Galore! Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 grey primer and blackboard paint, tippex for the white bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 why not motty?? I just don't think it's needed. As long as the white neck markings are there, i think that's all that really matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soontjen Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 i alway's mix in a bit of filler or plaster powder to my paint as it stop's the shine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenhunter Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Don't use black as it's not the right colour Have a close look next time you shoot one! The 'grey' isn't either! (But then not everybody is an ex-art teacher and a know-all LOL) Most good quality mat emulsions work. I put UV paint on the white bits on all my decoys, especially the Nemesis!!
