I got started on my divers yesterday. Fairly nice weather for it, as long as you can paint out of the direct sun.
I like getting my done early so that the paint has a good long time to cure and harden before actual use.

Next time you got some goose floaters out motor a couple hundred yards away and look at them, the white butts bobbing up and down is all you can see. The rest of my decoys I hose off and armoral every year, if you can find low shine armoral that's best, if not use the normal stuff and throw some dirt on them to dull the shine. That stuff brings back the paint like you wouldn't believe. I use 15 year old duck decoys that I've never repainted, looks great after armoraling them.

If you were flying above them you would probably say the black is the most important.
