Lightbulb Maintaining Billboards

Hi all,



I was just sitting quietly with white acrylic paint, a paint brush and about to re white my new Billboards that have lost some paint in transit.

My wife suggested there must be an easier way..



Is there an easy way to re write the Billboards - paint pen or roller etc.

I know each one will take about an hour, but thought I would seek some advice or ideas.

Bernie..

Hi Bernie,
The originals were sprayed, so get yourself something like some of these Tire Lettering Stencils : Raceline Digital, Do More for Less
and dont forget to take your ID when buying spray paint.

cheers

Yes will let them fade off - but in transit most of the centre has rubbed off.

Will try that. Is that the white lead style pencil or a liquid type?

Default Stencils

Hey Bernie,

I tried the stencils from Raceline, but used a brush with the special

tyre paint, not very sucessful, use the fabric pencil.
