Paint Charts for Wigeons

[Steve Sanford]

Good morning, All~


Having just received a request for my paint charts - for Behr paints from Home Depot - for both American and Eurasian Wigeons, I thought I would post them here. I think I mentioned that one of my resolutions in the New Year will be to spend part of every Monday posting new content on my website. It has been neglected for too long. Among many other things - especially duckboat restorations - I will create a section for these color charts. I have them for most species.



American Drake:






American Hen:






Eurasian Drake.






The Eurasian Hen is indistinguishable from the Eurasian - except probably to other Wigeons.


You'll notice that these decoys were all Model 63 Herter's - Mallard/Black Bodies with Bluebill heads - a good combination for these species.



All the best,


SJS

Good Morning Steve,

I just checked my paint supply from Home Depot to rehab my hen Buffies. They are in need of some attention. My plan is to repaint my entire rig this winter both drakes and hens. I was able to reference your website for colors and schemes. Thank you for providing this information.
