wildfowler.250 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Does anyone bother? Any paints makes / types you could recommend or avoid,(particularly anything shiny) ? I’ve a few wigeon that could do with a touch up. Refuse to take the easy option and buy some new ones but I’m not too convinced even during the daylight that colour makes much difference? Any tips or suggestions appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aberisle Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I have used spray cans from this place if you look through their site you will find cans of matt paint, if you use cardboard to make masks/templates decoys can painted pretty quickly. https://www.sprayster.com/product-category/paint-products/colour-paint/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what sort of wildfowling you do as to if its worth repainting decoys. If you shoot in the half light of dawn or dusk It will not matter much. On the other hand if you tide flight in broad daylight well painted decoys can make a lot of difference. When Mine start getting a bit tatty I usually repaint both duck and drake decoys as females , its a lot simpler and buy a few brand new drakes.

Centrepin Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 I repaint my half shell pigeons with matt paint when they get too scratched or shiny. I use trial pots fro B&Q. I repaint my half shell crows with matt black, but recently tried some old car underseal I had left over and that seems to be working out fine. Never repainted full shells as they're flocked, I just give then a wipe over with a wet rag and leave to dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
