Sean Richo Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I wonder if anyone can help I have some half shelled flock decoys but the white lines that represent the white part of the wing have faded and I want to go over them so they stand out again anybody know what type of paint to use I was thinking two small stripes with white glossso it doesn't wash off in rain or fade any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
