I bought some liquid Frog Juice but haven't used it yet.
I have to do a painted banner with red letters, which will sit on an angled roof, so it will have more direct sun contact. I was thinking of putting Frog Juice on the banner to protect the red from breaking down over time.
Should I just paint over the letters with the Frog Juice, or should I coat over the entire banner with the Juice? I will be using bright red One Shot on an enamel receptive banner.

No frog juice over enamel. Its a banner. . . .red paint only. It's not suppose to last forever. Have fun

I'm with John on this one!!.... a "banner" is purchased and intended to be a TEMPORARY sign !!! Now, when/IF they purchase a permanant sign, THEN you can clearcoat the enamels for longivity. I prefer POR-15's product called PELUCID. check it out at POR-15
But, on the other hand,,,, we have a restaurant here near the interstate and can't have nother sign. Their banner faces the off-ramp to the interstate and they do expect to have it up for YEARS. So, in this case, yes, the reds and blues must be clearcoated. And, I still suggest the POR-15 products. And, yes, the Frog Juice will work for your intended purpose. Just clear over your letters and repaint in 2-4 years. OR sell them a whole new banner with a whole new look !!!!

Hiya Peter, This sounds like a job for screen printing inks. No clearing afterwards and it will last a long time as long as it's installed right. If I remember correctly, another letterhead had a banner in front of his shop for quite a long time using this method. Another, probably more expensive, option is to consider flex-face materials. It will probably last as long if not longer than the banner option.
Havin' fun,
