I spruce up old decoys with a little flat white and flat black spray paint once the original paint fades or flakes off.



Gotta like those green cheeks I left.



That's one can of each Walmart brand spray paint. Like $2 does a dozen.

Eta: UPDATE

We got some birds in with this weather. The canvasbacks were breaking down hard on the side of the blind we put these decoys. Got a 3 man limit of cans this morning.

I guess it's cheaper than buying new ones.

Dependent on where you hunt and quantity of decoys a, fine looking decoy or an old coke bottle may have the same effect.

Example: catahoula lake.

that is a very good tip...I always touch up any white on my decoys during the off season, just to freshen them up after sitting out all winter...makes a hell of a difference in the way they look....
