Ok, well maybe not and extreme makeover, but another thread got me wanting to give re-painting my jake mobile decoy a try. I have killed or had other people kill birds over him 4 years in a row. I use a real fan with him and he seems to work well. I never really like the paint job of the head and he has started to look rough. I used the outdoor acrylic paint from the wally world's craft section.

Looks great. I think a big improvement over the original paint. I'm doing mine as soon as I get home from California.
