I once had delusions like you about repainting my faded and chipped decoys. But that takes too much time and the results were not as good as factory new decoys. So I just buy new dekes and paint the old ones black (or give them away to youth hunters).
There ya go Rick

Thanks???
Seriously, I am starting to enjoy repainting the decoys, really not too hard once you get a little practice. Yes, they are not as nicely painted as new decoys (yet) but should do just fine to bring the birds in.
Just let me know if you have any dekes you want to give away, I would be more then happy to take them off your hands
