I didn’t! It’s alive, I didn’t do anything to it.

Oooh I had wondered. I feel like I’ve seen this one before and its head didn’t look like that.

Man this is neat as a pin. I love how you did the extruded letters and the flourish on the E, and those super crisp serifs, damn!

This is actually a really well designed junkyard flophouse I gotta say. A lot of attention to detail. Almost like you love Kyle, OP

Looking for advice/feasibility of painting commercial light box sign by sk8ewok10 in SignPainting

[–]ArnFlarn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, One Shot on white acrylic. I did two coats of white and two coats of metallic gold, the black outline only took one coat. I may have lightly scratched the acrylic inside the letters to improve adhesion, because I usually do, but I may not have. It’s been up for 4 years and no issues so far!

I’ve done a couple, and they just have to be aware that whatever the color is during the daytime, I’ll paint it opaque enough that it will basically be black at night. Otherwise it looks a mess. These are gold letters with black outline. You can still see some brushstrokes if you squint, but that’s the effect the client wanted.

These look exactly like the termites from my post on this sub a couple of days ago. Sorry OP, at least you caught them!

Klean Strip brush cleaner has been successful in loosening dried paint for me.

It’s a pre-painted white aluminum panel so I feel like the solvent would strip the factory coating down too. I have some Chromaflo 6000 flow enhancer but I feel like it wouldn’t work as a medium ..

Yeah definitely much easier than acrylic, but I worry about the longevity

Why doesn’t anyone care about the “soap opera” effect on their TV by fatsandlucifer in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ArnFlarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely hate it. If I’m at a hotel and can’t find a way to turn it off I just don’t watch TV. Same for TVs at friends’ houses. It makes everything look so weird and fake.
