what kind of enamel paint should i use to paint an antique sign?
I a fine art student trying to paint an antique style sign. i purchased a piece of sheet metal about 3x4ft and covered it with a black matte primer…..but i was wondering if you could give me any tips. I heard enamel paint is what i need to use, but whats the best brand/where i find it? and how should it be applied…brush?…how many coats? Also, how do you get that antique/aged look? Anything you could tell me would be greatly appreciated. thank you
Well, you could use the kind of enamel paints that you get to touch up scratches on cars, but I think you’d be well advised to look at the range of metal paints that Deco-Art produces, as this company also produces special-effects products to be used in conjunction with their paints. It may, however, be worth thinking about wire wool post painting and drying, if you want a slightly worn look.
