Wood Sign
I have to paint a wood sign for a customer (white)...she want's it to look vintage.?
I have to paint a wood sign for a customer (white)...she want's it to look vintage. I will be using pine. Do I want to leave it a bit rough? Do I put something on it first before I apply the white paint? Please help.
You have a couple of options.
One, you can distress the sign. By this, I mean take a two foot piece of chain and whack the sign in several places. Then paint the sign as you normally would. This makes the (brand new) sign look weathered.
Two, you might want to paint the sign using older style, almost calligraphic lettering. This takes a fairly steady hand.
Third, you can weather the sign. Basically, after painting the sign throw a wash of brownish red in a few places. This represents rust or dirt staining the sign.
Of course you can do several of these. Discuss which levels of surface treatment they want on their sign.
