RE: Paint my dekes...
I got some little squeeze bottles of acrylic craft paint at a craft store. Kids paint designs on their canvas tennis shoes and other fabrics with it. It comes in any color you could possibly use. It's about 50 cents a bottle and will last many years. I put a little on a q-tip and touchup various spots. I even gave an extra hen decoy a sex-change operation. I made her a jake.
