Default What do you do with old beat up decoys.

So what do you do with them when they have been beat up, faded, and don't look like the ducks there suposed to? Repaint, I can't stay between lines much less paint a duck.

I repaint them .
If puddle ducks , I paint them as black ducks , they show up better .

I know guys that paint their decoys flat black ( the whole decoy ) and claim they out produce regular decoys
