My brother-in-law Gary needed a sign for his farm. His wife Bec decorated for Halloween.
Gary wanted his sports teams on the back of his Angus sign. The Celtics have had a good year and the Red Sox are tough, but no comment about the Dolphins.
Christine cuts my wife's and my hair. I did the sign below for her shop. She'll be glad that I put her in the photo.
Jim Hufnagel used to raise strawberries and needed a sign. His wife El taught in my elementary school for years and years.

Great looking signs! What kind of paint do you use for them? Acrylic? Is it a special sign paint? What about brushes -- just regular brushes? Do you paint some kind of protective coating over them?
I've done some before but was disappointed with how they weathered over time.
Hey Andy -
I use oil-based primer and two coats of a good exterior white house paint. Then I do the letters with oil-based Rustoleum. They hold up pretty well - 7 to 8 years if the edges are protected. I have a couple of square-tipped, sable brushes that work for me.
Good to know!
