Mr pigeon Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hi folks, I have just purchased some more flock coated decoys and when I compared them to the ones I bought 8 or so months ago I was alarmed to see that the older ones were a very light grey compared to the new ones. I compared the new ones to a dead bird and the colour is very similar, while the older ones are no where near. Even my old plastic ones look more like a dead bird! Do u guys think this makes a difference? I would put a picture up but can't seem to copy and paste from my iPhone! Cheers in advance for your views.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 As long as they are mid grey they'll be fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenhunter Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 The cheapest GREY PRIMER spray can that you can find! That will do but so will any matt acrylic paint. I used crown test pots for mine. Never any complaints although not on flocked bodies. It runs off! GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
