Hi people, here's a question.... I've got to "letter" one of those blue or orange poly tarps, the kind you get at Canadian Tire/Home Depot. It's for a protest, so's got to look "made by the people"** Anybody painted on this stuff, and what would the prep/and paint choice be? It will probably be used more than once, unfurled down a building front.I'm not so concerned about the usual "coverage concerns or even the ease of lettering". Mainly, it's what sticks that counts.
Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

I don't know about paint but vinyl sure doesn't stick good to those things no matter how you prep it. I have had a couple of people who wanted me to letter those things before I just forewarned them of the outcome and very short life span. Better off to use poly pro banners.
