Got a sign for the farm today. Our carpenter already painted it. The sign is designed to go and be left outside, exposed to all the elements.
It's a two piece sign, one painted white, it has the letters cut out. The piece is the background, it's painted black. The black is an enamel, not sure what the white paint is. See pic for an example of what I'm talking about.
My plan was to paint it myself, but the design doesn't really lend itself to being being repainted without screwing up the lettering - and let's face it, I'm just not that good a painter!
So, what I'd like to do for Plan B is "cover" it with something else that will protect it but let the original paint colors show through. Some type of clear protective cover that will stand up to the elements.
What am I looking for?
Thanks,
Not my sign, just an example. For my sign, the white part has cutouts for the letters and the 2nd piece below it is painted black to show the letters through.
