Longer than I thought it would:Big Laugh
To be honest I stopped keeping track of time once I started painting the copy. I wanted to enjoy this project and not stress over time and learn as much as I possibly could.
The next one will be timed
So here are a few pics of the painted sign I have been working on.
The pictures aren't the best and the colors actually shifted due to my lighting.
I was extremely busy at the time so I had Neato design it for me (Great job as always)
Since I'm a beginner in the world of sign painting I had a...
Blue Green
Darker Blue Green
Apple Green "kind of"
Yellow
White
Light Blue
Black
and Air Brushed Light Blue to White
Ronan & 1Shot
The sign will get hit by the sun
As for a picture, I'll have that soon.
With all of these factors, I don't think it's worth the risk clearing it
Thanks Gino.
No issues with the MDO.
The signs looks great.
Once it's done I'll be posting some pics.
I'll have to check out CLEARSTAR and VALSPAR, I just don't want to put something down and have it mess with my paint.
Thanks
Car Wax - now that's a cool idea.
I'll repel the water also.....
Thanks
Hey all,
Yet another question about painted signs.
What can I use to clear coat an Oil based painted MDO sign?
Any info would be great.
Thanks again:signs101:
All VERY GOOD ideas.
It looks like I'll be going through the face.
I'll either recess the screw heads and plug the holes or use the plastic caps.
I the end this is probably the best way to go.
I'd hate to mount it from the back only to have a wind storm blow the face off.
Andy I like your...
I'd rather not go through the face of the sign "It's all paint" and almost every time I cover screw heads with cut vinyl the vinyl shrinks and doesn't look all that great.
I do have plastic washer type thingies "technical term" with a flip top cap that I could paint to match the sign - so that's...
OK so it looks like angles are the way to go.
The MDO is only 3/4" - I'll have to use short screws to connect the angle to the back of the sign, do you think they'll hold?
Thanks again for the tips
Hey all,
I need to mount two 4 x 4 posts to a sign.
The sign is right around 44" x 24" x 3/4".
I want to mount them in the back.
Here's an example of how I was thinking of doing it.
Anyone have any suggestions on this one?
Thanks
