Paint Colors for Gadwall Gunners

[Steve Sanford]

All~

I have posted about painting Gadwall gunners a couple of years ago, both here and on my website:

https://stevenjaysanford.com/painting-gadwall-gunners/

I just photographed each step in the process and will be expanding my post to include a true step-by-step Tutorial - when I can find the time.

In the meantime, here are the "color charts" for the Behr sample jars from Home Depot that I use to topcoat most of my gunning decoys. I sized them so they print nicely on 8.5 x 11 paper.

Here is the Drake:

As always, I hope this is helpful,

Steve I have been using your paint colors for some cork mallards my Son and I have carved. I have been Restle coating my Herters and will be using the Black Duck and Mallard tutorial you have provided to paint them. I will now be looking to use this Gadwall info on some other decoys. Thank you for all of the good information.
