For the nth time, go to a
sign supply place (in person or online ) like N Glantz.
Buy yourself some aluminum composite to use as the
sign.
Then hand-letter using Ronan lettering enamel and a brown sqirrel quill (both also from the
sign supplier) or even oil-based Rustoluem and a 1" foam brush.
People will suggest using 1-Shot lettering enamel...don't bother.
There is no need to topcoat if you use the right materials for the job.
