Tidying up the sign writing

[luggsy]

Finally got round to repainting the sign writing which was really faded, took hours to mask up but it was worth it , although I used frog masking tape some of the shadowing was pulled of I will have to repaint the shadowing

Looks good, well worth the effort.

It does look good.

Why did you have to do it? Have you polished through the original?

Maroon fades terribly, probably the worst colour to use for lettering. I use it sparingly for shading, but that’s it,.

Because it looked like this , as dave said any red fades it was done in bounty red enamel I have used monourethane this time plus I have put three coats on there looked to be only one coat on

I was speaking to my signwriter about some jobs you see which haven't faded but where the signwriter hasn't used enough paint and hasn't used a couple of coats to get proper coverage. I don't know much about signwriting so I asked him if that was done intentionally as an effect. He was quite critical and said "no, they just haven't done the job properly"

This suggests that you used stick-on vinyl writing. In view of your subsequent comments, I wonder if you meant "repainting".

I have taken the liberty of amending it. If you'd rather I hadn't, let me know and I'll de-amend it.
