I was told to use a water-based paint like Deka for painting a banner, but can't find them locally or even whether they are being discontinued by the manufacturer. Any suggestions? I'm painting a dark blue fade on one end and a white fade on the other, then applying vinyl graphics.

I normally just apply a coat of Tycote or OneShot vinyl primer to the banner (it dries clear). Then, I either spray or roll on OneShot lettering enamel. I've never had a failure.

Alan....Deka's plant is in Morrisville, VT. You might give them a call. Possible that they have some stock left there. If so stock up on whatever they have left!

Try Denver Sign Supply 1-800-735-7446. They gave me a list of what they have left. No black or white but some blues, chrome yellow, vermilion, im gold, violets, clear, coral.

I'll go with the ti-cote as I have some in stock for this job. However, I found Ronan Aquacote water based sign enamels at the Dick Blick site. Anyone know if these are similair to Deka's?
