4. POSITIONING AND PAINTING THE ANTLERS

Before you paint the antlers drill a hole for them, place them in the head, balance them, and trim them off as needed. 
Place them in matched sets if you are doing more than one deer at a time. 

This photo was at my first go at painting antlers, I used GRAY primer first and had to topcoat that with brown paint.  
Later I bought  brown primer and used it  WOW!!  ONE COLOR....ONE COAT...

To attach the antlers, use a little Super Glue or carpenters glue to hold them in place.
