I just tried somthing new this year and it's worked great. Before season coat them with Armoral this really brings out the color especially in older decoys. I also just repainted 1 dozen of my decoys this year and sprayed them with a spray on satin finish polyurathane (don't think thats the right spelling but you get the idea) they haven't chipped or scuffed yet this year and they've already been through hell. The best ting about these methods is they cost about what $4.00 for a bottle of Armoral and about $6.00 for a can of polyurathane.

Wait, wait, ready PLUG EM!!!!!
