 Finished re-painting the spreads
Thanks to Lou Tisch from Lock, Stock & Barrel & everyone else for the pointers on painting the Blackwaters.
Spent the last month re-painting (8) eight dozen puddlers & divers
Be honest if you have any thoughts!!!
The two on the right I left alone.

 Re: Finished re-painting the spreads
They're Blackwater/Rough Rider dekes made in Ohio. http://www.duckdecoys.com$400.00 a dozen put I heard they're not going to make them anymore. If you find them on the classifieds, $20.00 a piece is a really fair price. The paints came from Lou Tisch of Lock, Stock & Barrell. http://www.lockstockbarrell.comHis FME paints are specially mixed for decoy applications. You tell him what & how many you're painting & he recommends the quanities.

 Re: Finished re-painting the spreads
I repainted some of mine a few years back, and I enjoyed it. Mine are no where near as nice as those, though! My diver decoys mostly consist of beat up old carry-lites that have been shot, repaired, and painted with spray paint.
