decoy paint

[fowl addiction]

alright guys i need some help finding some good decoy paint. i have a bunch of divers that need some serious help. what has everyone else used?

I used the cheap acrylic stuff you can get at fabric stores like JoAnne. It started rubbing off right away. The Herters paint is supposed to be more durable, but it's pricey.

You said divers. If you're referring to bluebill dekes, all you really need is put some white on their backs and sides. That said, the cheap stuff every other year ain't a big deal.

Anyone else out there have a review of the Herters paint?

I've used the Herters paint it looks great and last alright but after 2 years or so you could see it starting to chip also


Honestly for divers, I use spray paint and just touch up the white from time to time as needed, diver hunting is all about quantity over quality, you turn almost anythign into a bluebill or canvasback
