What kind of paint are you using?
Clear coat at end?
Colors?
Where'd you get it?


I try to use Behr exterior flat, self-priming house paint. You can purchase quarts for the basic black & white and the smaller sample jars for the other different colors. "Takem.com" has a pretty good paint scheme on their website.

I bought a quart of zinser flat white primer and some of those real cheap foam brushes. No primer or clear coat and its worked good enough for the last 6 or so years. I can do the white on 24 blue bill dekes in about an hour.
