I have a bunch of Carry-lite and Flambeau plastic mallard decoys that are ready for a new paint job. I'm looking for suggestions on paint type, where to source it (I've found getting flat paint can be a PIA), methods (spray or brush) and lastly; tips on painting techniques. Pics are welcome :)
 
i bought my dad goose and duck decoys that weren't painted they were $35 for 6 doz
4 doz can geese 2 doz duck so I when and bought some plastic outdoor paint from the hardware store just went off a pic that I had they turned out great and work really well
ill see if I can get a photo of them when i go to visit him :)
 
I use Krylon Fusion spray paint. It is designed specifically for painting plastic like lawn furniture, it is fairly inexpensive (esp when compared to the decoy paint online) pretty tough and easily available at Wal-Mart. Figure out what colour the decoys have the most of, say black on divers, give it a decent coat or two then either mask and spray or brush on the accent colours. I then use a satin clear coat to protect it. Last pretty well, haven't had to redo any that I've painted yet.
