Wanted Decoy Paint Job

I have two prototype mallard/black decoys from a failed upstart decoy business that need painting. The decoys themselves have a hard outer shell, are foam filled, and were made from molds that came off a blue ribbon carving. I wish the company had made it because they are some of the coolest commercial decoys I've ever seen. I started to paint them as black ducks (Parkers oil based paint) 10 years ago and the shelved them. Last week I pulled them from the shelf and keeled them but unfortunately all my decoy paint dried up. So I'm hoping I can find someone that would like to paint these two decoys (mallard or black) and help me get them in my spread. I'm not too picky, I just want to hunt over them and don't have the time/supplies right now.

So do any of the decoy makers here want to take on a paying job of painting an otherwise complete pair of decoys? They are ready to ship.

Eric, If I can do them and get them back to you this winter, send them to me. Jansen Acrylic is what I use. Let me know, would love to do them for you.

best, Duane G.
 
Eric,

If Duane can't do them, let me know. I have a few balsa birds to paint so adding two to the mix won't add much to the job.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks to both of you for offering. I had an early offer and am following up with it. Will let you know if anything falls through.
