a before and after was going to use versacamm would have taken 5mins to stick on but thought hey I can signwrite so I paint masked it and outlined
heres is my attempt in making a new sign look old ryan technique, photo does not show the lighter shades of blue probably need to thin blue more the baby powder did make paint go flat will be better for the run, sign probably looks 20 years old instead of 50
4ft x 22ft colourbond sign welder painted , reverse panel spray masked, copy black vinyl
red and blackpainted background rest vinyl

Play around with the thinning & baby powder. My last batch of black I had sitting around for two weeks in a can... A little lacquer thinner & it has been my favorite so far!
The most important thing is to have fun!!
Hope it all works out!
