Parkers have some good paint available in Knutsons latest catalog. You must clean all dirt and loose old paint off first and you should also use some Sand Free on the decoys before painting.

i've got about 120 dekes, mostly mallards. i bought the decoy paintkit from cabelas. it was a real p.i.t.a. to go over the faded dekes. and when i was done, the paint didn't look that realistic. that was a few years ago.

last year i picked out about 10 dekes that just looked terrible. faded or chipped paint, etc. i bought a can of spray on bed liner for about $4 and made them black, like a coot. i made the bills sort of bluish in color though. the rest of the duck is covered with the bedliner.
