Pinstriping & Lettering A "Tattoo Removal" Painted Saw Sign 

I spend a lot of time watching paint dry.

Thanks man.

Thank you for watching

It don't hurt to take a swing at it. It's just paint and time. Paint wipes off if you don't like it.

@@JackFlemingArtistry Absolutely, I'm old enough now to know it was a lack of confidence. Returning to it after a few years break, but the desire to pinstripe and signwrite never went away. I've got enough gear to start now, so no more excuses! Appreciate the reply, cheers.

Thanks

Thanks. I chose what seemed to me to be the most iconic colors used in tatoo shop signs.

Can't say I came up with the idea, just came up with this specific design for it.

Thanks. Merry Christmas.

Thank you. I try to make things that I, myself would like. Thanks for subscribing.

Thank you for that feed back. I'm not sure that I always do that, but will try to keep it in mind now that I know people appreciate it.

Thank you very much. If you clean them extra good, things should work pretty well. I like the way the rust looks under satin clear, plus it allows me to mess up and wipe off without staining the surface. Send me a pic of what you do. I would love to see it.

Thank you

I'm trying. Thank you. I am still figuring out how to make a descent and engaging video. Open to any constructive criticism.

I thought it was quite engaging. Great angle to see how you paint, how you twist the brush etc. maybe do one with the design process?

@@Hotrodmonk55 I appreciate the suggestion. Good idea.

Thank you. I am trying. Glad you liked the video

Thanks. I am trying to make short little 1 minute lesson videos right now. That may be great for it.

@@JackFlemingArtistry I’ll be watching. I subscribed- thanks so much!

@@theangrykitten thank you

Thank you

I have used it directly on plastic. I don't know if it is intended to be used directly on plastic, and cannot say what the longevity of it on plastic would be.

I lightly sand the surface, clean it, and give it a satin clearcoat before painting. Since I am using sign painting enamels, there is no need for a top coat when finished.

I usually give them a light sanding, then clean with mineral spirits, then lacquer thinner. After that, I will coat with satin clear spray paint.

My recommendation (specially for a "starving" artist) would be to invest in good quality tools slowly over time. If you are doing lettering start with only one decent lettering quill. Maybe a Mack series 189 or series 169. Sizes 4 or 6 seem to be a good all around brush sizes. No need to get every color of paint either. White or imitation gold letters on a black background can make for some classy signs. I sometimes make nice little wall hangers on scrap wood that I have sanded smooth, primed, and coated with oil based oops paint from the hardware store. A lot can be done with one brush and one or two cans of 1Shot or another quality sign enamel. Cheap brushes and crumby paint lead to a lot of wasted money and frustrating times. Just my opinion.

I really dont remember. I made a pattern from it, so that I can repeat it. Thinking about making another one soon. Will have to keep track of the hours.

Outstanding. Thank you

It is just the way I do bruah script. No computer fonts used here

Thanks

I give them a light sanding and a couple coats of flat or satin clear.

I liked hanging out in his shop. Still have hopes of having a similar fortress of solitude some day.

Me too

@@Freeman3692 good to hear from you. Hope you are doing well.

That's why God invented mineral spirits. I wouldn't clean the cat with it though. You might ask your neighbor before you use it on his wife though. Just make sure you film that and upload it to RU-vid.

@@JackFlemingArtistry good tip,s thanks 😊
