KYLimbHanger Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 The paint on my Delta jake decoy was starting to peel off. So, I removed all the manufactures paint and decided to repaint it myself. What do you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KYLimbHanger Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Re: Repainted Jake deocy (pic) Thanks. I heard of people taking their decoys to the taxidermist to get them re-painted but I figured I can do it myself. Hope it fools a gobbler this spring!

ParrotHead2005 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Re: Repainted Jake deocy (pic) What kind of paint did you use. Mine is really coming off. brush or air brush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is really coming off. brush or air brush [/ QUOTE ] I bought some acrylic paint at WalMart in the crafting section. Small bottles around $.78 a piece. I bought red for the wattles and snood, light blue for the face and neck , golden yellow for the beak, black for the eyes, and white for the crown. I mixed the light blue and the black to make a blueish grayish color for the nostrils and ear. The paints are supposed to be weather resistant, indoor/outdoor. So, I guess I'll see how it holds up. I guess if it ever flakes or scratches, I have the paint to touch it up again! I have thought about a little more red on B-Mobile as well. Thing is, you can paint it red one day, and then paint it back white the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dartonman Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Re: Repainted Jake deocy (pic) I love the paint job, but the snood....or point on the head should be off gray or white....not red....then it will look truly natural.........al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, on the full strutted gobbler decoys, their snoods are white. The snood on a gobbler can change colors and lengths anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
