We use grease tinted white on our patterning board instead of paint. Take a shot, trowel it smooth and shoot again. Simple and long lasting. For a durable aiming point we welded a skid shoe from a snowplow to the plate. Grease also keeps the steel plate from rusting. A word of caution - be sure to wear safety glasses when patterning. On numerous occasions we have had pellets bounce back to the 16 yard line. Sounds impossible but it happens.
