Any pointers you guys can give for this would help. Mine are beat up and rough looking. I mainly have pintail and teal dekes with a few redhead and wigeon mixed in. I've watched some videos and it looked like they were using flat house pain. If y'all have a specific color you like to use please let me know. I'm also wondering about flocking and if it really helps and is worth the added time to do.

Camo rattle can paint or Krylon Fusion, from Walmart, for the base coat. For detailing, I use Testors flat enamel model paints, the ones used for painting and weathering plastic military models like tanks, planes, etc. They work extremely well. Finish with an overcoat of flat Krylon clear.

Throw em away and get new ones?

nothing wrong with beat up dekes. they will work

yeah, milk jugs work too.

Yup
