Avian X color questions

[strum]

Hi Guys ..I just wanted to get yalls thoughts on this..
I have owned a couple of the avian hens and while I think they are good both my huntin buddy and I think the wings are too white for North Georgia.
I have a DSD that is not so bright.  what do you guys think?
And whats a good way to tone em down a tick?

I just got my first avians and I thought they were a little light too.  More disappointed in the weight though.  Frickin things are heavy.  I cover a lot of ground so I'll probably stick to my old foams unless I'm hunting the farm (which is not much).

Got to the craft story and pick up a bottle of folkart acrylic paint (tan) and a brush....

Did this to mine and it really tones down the white....I'll find a pic and post it later.

a pic would be great thanks man..
yep they are heavy... but I have been using a DSD Jake and submissive hen some too.
the hen I can put in my vest no problem but the Jake is a beats to haul around..
  its the nature of it I guess..real or light weight..trade off

Used brown shoe polish on mine. Put it , wipe it off with a paper towel till you are satisfied with the color

Here it is.....the color I used was butter pecan by folkart
I also added a little metallic to the wing bar and re painted the head.

But.....the avion x doesn't compare to the Deception Outdoors hen...imo
Or the DSD for that matter...

Weight and better coloring is why I chose DSD's over the Avians.

I just weighed my AvianX feeder and breeder hens. Both weigh in at 2 pounds 7 oz. Shoot! The lunch I pack in weighs more than that!
