Hello all,
How do you usually finish sign projects meant for outside? For example signs with trees or animals or other paintable things?
I will attempt to attach a halloween seasonal address sign I've been working on as an example.
Thanks!
Jim

Halloween address sign-good outdoor paint?
It is easier to destroy than it is to create, just look at my scrap pile.

Re: Halloween address sign-good outdoor paint?
Well after more research and reading through argument after argument on forum after forum I have come to the conclusion that it just doesn't matter what paint or technique is used and the general consensus is every type of paint is best and none are better than any other. I'll post the sign once painted, it is Halloween season after all.
Thanks

Re: Halloween address sign-completed with paint
Ta-dah. For a first complete cnc project attempt it's not bad and I learned a ton during the process. Ultimately I simplified the sign and removed one of the tool paths for a cleaner design (to me). And I used paint.
