My first time lettering awnings (with paint)

Looks great

 

I would have charged about $900.00 for the lettering thats DOES NOT include the awnings nor install. We letter a good bit of awnings of course most are now done with eradicated or sunbrella graphics system. Looks good to me

 

Good enough.

Little tight on air space for me, also would have used a sans font for contrast against name & easier reading against all other action.

How much bleed under ya get. ?

Done with in 10 hrs here 2 coats, no bleed, by hand, maybe less with lift

Same job

 

Sign Up Graphics

Nice job!!!

 

Looks good ,, Go back in in day and get brighter pictures. Looks real good.

 

I always use a house brush to brush on the first coat and sorta get the edges of the vinyl sealed down and them go with roller. you will never get crisp libnes when you used masking but usually its doable from a short distance

 

were these existing awnings? how did you clean them?

 

I discovered that the bleed under can be vigorously scrubbed away soon as the paint is dry with a rag SATURATED with paint thinner (I use oil base paint beginning with a coat of Ronan quick dry primer block out). The paint ghosting it produces at the edge of letters soaks into the material and disappears within an hour. Takes some getting used to because it's such a foreign concept to smear paint on a substrate, but I promise it works!
